I had a transparent ftp-proxy in mind.
An open invitation is now made to all interested participants
to build the client executable using the attached little patch.
Do test it in all the use-cases you encounter, and preferrably
some more! Not all servers react identically to a SYST command
issued before a successful USER command.
I can not guarantee that this suggestion will go into production,
but for evaluation purposes I need to know that nothing is broken,
while at the same time attempting to close this bug in a transparent
way for all use-cases we have identified.
Respond to this BTS thread, not to any personal address, as I am
subscribed to this thread, or rather to the package observer!
Thank you in advance for your reports and efforts.
Description: Use implicit SYST only with auto-login.
Not every server, nor every ftp-proxy server, is able
to reply to a SYST command, unless the user is logged in.
.
Couple dosyst() to dologin() to avoid an otherwise
disturbing SYST poll.
