 Right. Most FTP servers output the same thing for LIST and NLST ;
and most FTP clients incorrectly use LIST where they should use NLST.
publicfile's ftpd sends the usual format when it receives a NLST
command, as it must ; but it sends EPLF when it receives a LIST
command, as it is allowed to.
 The correct solution is to write to FTP client authors and ask them
to fix their programs.
 The simple solution is to use a correct FTP client such as ftpcopy.
 The kludgy solution is to patch publicfile's ftpd to get rid of EPLF.
