curlftpfs crashes on rm command

[Bugfixer]

Binary package hint: curlftpfs

when I try to delete files on a ftp server that is mounted using fuse and curlftpfs I get the following error

"rm: cannot remove «test2»: Software caused connection abort"

If I try to do any further commands on this mount afterwords I get
"ls: .: Transport endpoint is not connected"

I was using curlftpfs in Ubuntu Feisty without these problems, but after upgrading it no longer works.

My case is this:
1. Added "curlftpfs#user:<email address hidden>//home /ftp.mount.point fuse allow_other,uid=username,gid=groupname,auto 0 0"
   To /etc/fstab
2. sudo mount -a
3. cd /ftp.mount.point/some-subdir
4. touch test2
5. rm test2
    rm: cannot remove «test2»: Software caused connection abort
6. ls
    ls: .: Transport endpoint is not connected

Building latest libcurl from source fixed this problems for me.

This occurs also while creating a directory. Is there an alternative, workaround, or fix available for this?

[David Sim (david-sim)]

Confirmed that the latest libcurl resolves this problem. The libcurl in the ubuntu gutsy repositories is out of date and therefore the solution would appear to be for the maintainer to update the library.

I get the exact same error as described here.

I can confirm this error.
