Re: wput: bug-report

[Hagen Fritsch <hagen@itooktheredpill.dyndns.org>]

The problem seems to be that the ftp-server is in fact too fast for wput: wput 
establishes the data-connection for the filelisting and then LISTs the 
contents: 150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for /bin/ls.
Now wput receives the listing and then waits for the final message:
226 Transfer complete.
In your case the ftp-server seems to send 150 Opening ASCII mode data 
connection for /bin/ls. and 226 Transfer complete. in one tcp-packet, so that 
wput just reads the first line and ignores the rest and then waits for 226 
Transfer complete. wput "hangs up" because this line would never arive.
To fix the problem, the recv-routine of wput has to be rewritten (this has to 
happen anyway because especially on slow connections, there are several flaws 
in this routine). Unfortunately, I won't have any time to work on wput in the 
near future, so unless you'd like to fix this yourself, there is nothing i 
can do for you.

ps: yeah the -d-flag is now missing, but is the same as -v -v and was 
considered not to be that important ;)
