Subject:    Bug#2422: kfm (kioslave) returns blank with WinNT ftp server

Package: kdebase
Version: 1.1.2
Program: kioslave

Platform: Solaris 7 (but bug is general)

When I attempted to access out Windows NT ftp server using kfm, the
screen was blank and showed no files.   Access from command-line ftp
was fine.

Further investigation revealed that this was caused by

1) kioslave tried to set the ftp server into "unix" ls -l listing mode 
   using the "site dirstyle" command.

2) The server is somehow ALREADY configured to give unix-style
   directory listings.

3) kioslave actually toggled it back to MS-DOS style, and hence could
   not parse the output.

Here's a patch which I have tested and demonstrated to work.  It just
checks the output and reverses its error if it made one.
