Invalid PASV response

TheLastZombie opened this issue · 3 comments

I recently tried to use this together with rclone, and when I tried to connect to the server, I got the following error:

error listing: invalid PASV response format

I have two other FTP servers set up, both working fine, so I ran the PASV command on them manually:

227 Entering Passive Mode (192,168,178,24,160,99)
227 Entering Passive Mode (192,168,178,91,238,166)

Looking at rclone's code it makes sense, since it's looking for parantheses:
https://github.com/rclone/rclone/blob/master/vendor/github.com/jlaffaye/ftp/ftp.go#L363-L369

sys-ftpd-light, however, responds with:

227 192,168,178,39,184,244

So I tried to figure out whether this is an issue with sys-ftpd-light or rclone, and ended up taking a look at RFC 959, and there too the response is:

227 Entering Passive Mode (h1,h2,h3,h4,p1,p2)

The next thing I thought is that this may be an issue with pure-ftpd, however after I set it up and ran PASV, I got:

227 Entering Passive Mode (127,0,0,1,192,238)

Since the original sys-ftpd and ftpd haven't seen new releases in almost a year now, I'd appreciate it if this could get fixed in sys-ftpd-light instead. Thanks!

Ah sorry, so the issue is that it doesn't add parantheses? I don't know what is happening inside the actual FTP implementation, as the original code isn't mine. I'll try to take a look

Adding parentheses would solve the issue with rclone, but there may be other programs with stricter implementations, so I'd add Entering Passive Mode too.

but this broke my parsing of this. Good change though, I've been wishing for this for a while! Thanks!
