[REBOL] Re: FPT problem when reading file - FTP

I tried FileZilla Server 0.86 beta and I replicated the
problem.
It looks like a bug in FileZilla Server to me.
FileZilla Server is apparently trying to follow RFC 959:
 http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc959.html

and it says:

	LIST (LIST)

            This command causes a list to be sent from the server to the
            passive DTP.  If the pathname specifies a directory or other
            group of files, the server should transfer a list of files
            in the specified directory.  If the pathname specifies a
            file then the server should send current information on the
            file.

The problem is: FileZilla is not handling the case of a file.
I looked in the rebol handler and found that it sends a request
to LIST the file before RETRieving it, which looks correct and in
accordance with the RFC to me.

I have submitted a bug report to the SourceForge FileZilla project
about it.
I was unable to find the source for the FileZilla Server, though.
