Subject: Re: Bug #320871: lftp does not work with ftps (can not list directories)

I have encountered the same issue due to the following misconfiguration:

In lftp the configuration variable ftp:ssl-protect-list defaults to yes. Most
times if TLS is enabled on the server it will either be on both channels or
only on the control channel. So, when you connect to a server that requires
TLS only on the control channel then you should not use TLS for LISTs (which
happen on the data channel). The ftp:ssl-protect-list variable controls
exactly this, and since by default it is set to yes it creates problems with
servers that don't user TLS on the data channel.

Could the bug reporter check the value of ftp:ssl-protect-list? If it has the
default value of "yes" then perhaps he could try unsetting it to see if LISTs
work that way.
