Ahah. So I was on the right track.
Not to be beaten by this - I've hammered away at it and eventually built my
own dodgy FTP server to replicate the problem and get a different
perspective on things. I think I see light at the end of the tunnel!! - or
it could be an oncoming heavy vehicle....
Playing with my dodgy server I've found that my last fix - was soooo close,
but I screwed up by closing the listen-port - I should have left it open.
Here then is some code that makes my dodgy server happy. While I was at it,
I added a net-log call to show the hidden NLST communication.
Please tell me that's the end of the tunnel :-)
Regards,
Brett.
