[comp.bugs.4bsd] Bug in 4.3-tahoe ftpd?

matthews@eleazar.dartmouth.edu (Jim Matthews) (07/18/89)

I've observed what appears to be a bug in the ftp server from the
4.3-tahoe release.  The file names returned by the NLST command are
terminated by linefeeds, which is contrary to RFC-959 (page 33: "The
data will be transferred in ASCII or EBCDIC type over the data
connection as valid pathname strings separated by <CRLF> or <NL>.")
The LIST command is handled properly, as is the NLST command when there
are additional arguments (e.g. "NLST -l").

Has anyone else noticed this bug or come up with a fix?
