Package: pure-ftpd Version: 1.0.28-3+squeeze1 With pure-ftpd, the FTP command LIST <directory> does not work when the directory name contains blank characters.
Here is an example session, where a direcory "Test 1" with three files test2, test3, test4 exists. # ftp localhost Connected to localhost. 220---------- Welcome to Pure-FTPd [privsep] [TLS] ---------- [...] 220 You will be disconnected after 15 minutes of inactivity.

The output of strace shows that pure-ftpd treats "Test 1" as two separate directories. 7003 read(6, "LIST Test 1\r\n", 4112) = 13 7003 connect(10, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(36000), sin_addr=inet_addr("127.0.0.1")}, 16) = 0 7003 setsockopt(10, SOL_IP, IP_TOS, [8], 4) = 0 7003 setsockopt(10, SOL_SOCKET, SO_KEEPALIVE, [1], 4) = 0 7003 alarm(86400) = 1800 7003 write(6, "150 Connecting to port 36000\r\n", 30) = 30 7003 alarm(17) = 86400 7003 lstat("Test", 0x7fffb07b20e0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 7003 alarm(0) = 17 7003 alarm(17) = 0 7003 lstat("1", 0x7fffb07b20e0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 7003 alarm(0) = 17 7003 close(10) = 0 7003 close(10) = -1 EBADF (Bad file descriptor) 7003 chdir("/") = 0 7003 write(6, "226-Options: -l \r\n226 0 matches "..., 39) = 39 The same bug is also present in the current squeeze pure-ftpd package (verion 1.0.36-1).
