Description des 2000-01-18 19:00:02 UTC 
wu-ftpd 2.6.0 and newer do not list directories in the output from the
NLST command. While this is strictly not a bug according to RFC959 (and
the developers claim it is in fact the correct interpretation), it is
radically differs from historical behavior and is a major break of POLA.

Many FTP clients, including the FreeBSD, NetBSD and Solaris FTP clients,
fail in various ways when confronted with wu-ftpd. FreeBSD and NetBSD
will perform normally except for file name completion, whereas Solaris
totally fails to list files in response to the "ls" command.

Fix: Add the following patch in ports/wu-ftpd/patches:
How-To-Repeat: 
Connect to any FTP server running wu-ftpd 2.6.0 or newer, issue the NLST
command, compare the output with that of STAT.
