FTP command LIST is not working properly

Reported by matb.w...@gmail.com, Mar 30 2017 
UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/56.0.2924.87 Safari/537.36

Example URL:

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1.
2. 
3. 

What is the expected behavior?

What went wrong?
connecting to ftp://server.xxx is not correctly listing the current directory! Only webrowsers are impacted with this behavior. The command LIST tested on windows with dir command timeouted also.

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 56.0.2924.87  Channel: n/a
OS Version: 6.1 (Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2)
Flash Version: 

Note that NLST -l command works.

Filezilla client does correctly the listing of the current directory. 

I read this file and understood that this can be changed:

NLST -l instead of LIST -l

Given that the comment indicates the "-l" was added to avoid NLST format on mod_ftp, that change would probably cause other breakages.  Because of the low priority of improving FTP support, this is not likely to be investigated, unfortunately.

Oki thanks. I've checked FileZilla and it uses the MLSD command to list the directory. So when you have time working on FTP can you please consider MLSD instead of LIST -l?!

Comment 3 by guichag...@gmail.com, Oct 7 2017 

I'm also experiencing the same issue. There is nothing about the "-l" argument in the specification (RFC-959).

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc959

The only valid argument in the "LIST" command is a path, so FTP servers might try to find a directory named "-l", and they would return an error because the directory does not exist.

There are two solutions: Follow the RFC-959 for the "LIST" command or add support to "MLSD".
