Rory Winston commented on NET-148:
----------------------------------

Thanks Matthew , that is very helpful. I can reproduce the issue now. I think 
we may need to modify that condition to fix this. 

> Relaxed condition in __getReply causes other failures.

>          Issue Type: Bug

>            Reporter: Matthew Simoneau

> In FTP.java's __getReply() method, this do/while loop reads multi-line 
> responses from the server:
>             do
>             {
>                 line = _controlInput.readLine();
> ...
>             }
>             while (!(line.length() >= 4 && line.charAt(3) != '-' &&
>                      Character.isDigit(line.charAt(0))));
>             // This is too strong a condition because of non-conforming ftp
>             // servers like ftp.funet.fi which sent 226 as the last line of a
>             // 426 multi-line reply in response to ls /.  We relax the 
> condition to
>             // test that the line starts with a digit rather than starting 
> with
>             // the code.
>             // line.startsWith(code)));
>         }
> Note the comment and the commented-out termination condition.  I think the 
> relevant spec is http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc0959.txt  and the section is 
> "4.2.  FTP REPLIES".  This is causing problems with the return from the STAT 
> command from Geocities' FTP servers.  Here is an example reply.
> 211- ftp.us.geocities.com FTP server status: 
>      Version wu-2.6.0(48) Tue Jan 2 16:30:15 PST 2007 
>  Connected to 144.212.217.85 
>  Logged in anonymously 
>  TYPE: ASCII, FORM: Nonprint; STRUcture: File; transfer MODE: Stream 
>  No data connection 
>  0 data bytes received in 0 files 
>  0 data bytes transmitted in 0 files 
> 0 data bytes total in 0 files 
> 57 traffic bytes received in 0 transfers 
> 733 traffic bytes transmitted in 0 transfers 
> 834 traffic bytes total in 0 transfers 
> 211  End of status
> Note that the line "0 data bytes total in 0 files" starts with a digit, but 
> it isn't a reply code.  This prematurely halts reading of lines from the 
> server, and the remaining lines will look like a reply from the next command.
