Comment 1 jl1192 2002-08-10 20:58:44 UTC 
I also have encountered this bug. Perhaps the module should look at
conn->server_type to determine how to parse directory listings. In my
case, the NT server returned "Windows_NT version 4.0".

I have created a patch that will check server_type and if it is equal
to this string, it will call a special function for parsing NT
directory listings.

Note: I believe there are other issues with ftp and NT servers, but
this is a start.
