Some problem

I've experienced the same problem with a ftp server: wu-2.6.2

The format of the listing is probably different than the parser is expecting. I have also tried various settings in smartFTP to try and get the listing to come up. I don't use that server often so I just use command line ftp as a workaround.

I'de be interested to see what solution comes up for this as I may be able to benefit form it also.

Hello ..

Install latest version
https://www.smartftp.com/download

Then provide the log of your FTP session and the raw directory listing.

Thank you.

Now I'm seeing some binary data in the listing, probably due to the FTP server being configured incorrectly, but I'll submit the information anyway as it may be useful to others.

Thank you.

On what kind of OS is this FTP server? Can you post the welcome line (first couple of lines in the log) as well?

Thank you.

I must have missed it when I copied and pasted.

I logged in using command line ftp to issue a quote stat command.

You didn't miss it, the server just has a meaningless welcome line.

I don't think we will support the crippled directory listing the server returns. For me it looks like a problem with the server.
