Yes, this server appears to be quite strange - and funny at the same time :)

kio_ftp: user anonymous
kio_ftp: resp> 230 Hi. No need to log in; I'm an anonymous ftp server.

Hihi.

Ok, the first problem is "list -a", not supported. Too bad, not dot files then.
Tried disabling it... other problem, the listing :

Usually it's like: 
ftpParseDir -rw-r--r--   1 david    mandrake      120 Feb 20 14:46 subdirs  
But on this server it's: 
ftpParseDir +i837.341646,m995395323,r,s6087703,        \
Christina_Aguilera_-_What_A_Girl_Wants_(Live_At_Caracas_Pop_Festival_2001).mp3

HUH ? What kind of a listing is that ??
(I get the same in "FTP").

And it doesn't know "site dirstyle" either.
This is very strange. This is the only FTP server I know, that doesn't return a \
Unix-like directory listing upon "LIST" - it doesn't use the ls program at all, \
whereas all other FTP servers do.
Sorry, I don't see any useful information in that listing. WTH is \
+i837.341646,m995395323,r,s6087703 ?
