Re: FTP client

Well, I've actually started on one already based off of how the SMTP client
is implemented. So my FTP class inherits Protocols.NNTP which inherits
Stdio.FILE and I've then overridden some of the methods in NNTP in my FTP
class.

I have no problems connecting to the server, change working directory,
entering passive mode and such. The problem starts when I try to issue a
LIST command. Nothing happens and the read-loop hangs until the server
closes the connection. And I don't know why that is!
