[jira] Commented: (FTPSERVER-42) Listing of non-existing files cause the problems

    [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FTPSERVER-42?page=comments#action_12438827 ] 
            
Clinton Foster commented on FTPSERVER-42:
-----------------------------------------

To state the problem in another way, if the filepath argument for either LIST or NLST is a non-existent file or directory, a 501 error is returned.  Thereafter, the conversation with the server is out of sync, and sending any command to the server causes strange results.  Here is a sample debug client session:

ftp> ls nosuch
---> EPSV
229 Entering Passive Mode (|||55501|)
---> EPRT |2|::1|55503|
200 Command EPRT okay.
---> LIST nosuch
150 File status okay; about to open data connection.
501 Syntax error in parameters or arguments.
ftp> pwd
---> PWD
226 Closing data connection.
ftp> pwd
---> PWD
257 "/" is current directory.
ftp> ls
---> EPRT |2|::1|55505|
257 "/" is current directory.
---> LIST
200 Command EPRT okay.
