Well, I don't know if "necessary" is the right word; but it is the expected behavior to wait for a 221 reply to the QUIT command before closing the control connection. That's what all other FTP clients do. On the other hand, lftp has a long-standing tradition of being as asynchronous as possible and as fast as possible, and I respect that tradition as well. I propose a compromise. Let's introduce a new "set" variable. Maybe we could call it ftp:wait-for-goodbye, or something along those lines. It would be a boolean variable. You could make its default value "no" for forward compatibility with the current behavior. If set to "yes", then lftp will wait for a "221 Goodbye." message to be received in response to the QUIT command before closing the control connection. What do you think? -- .''`.
