Description From Raj Kettimuthu 2006-01-31 10:13:23

The client library tries to guess the buffer command for commands that does not
involve any transfer. 
This results in a fault and MKD does happen which subsequently causes an error
while opening a file 
inside that directory.

------- Comment #1 From Mike Link 2006-01-31 16:08:41 -------

This happens on a recursive transfer when setting -tcp-bs, and the root of the 
directory that is being transferred contains no files.  This results in the MKD 
being the command that initiates the destination connection.  The bug was in 
the ftp client lib, and can be triggered by initiating any connection with a 
non-transfer command (other than size or feat) when the tcp buffer has been set.

Fix committed to trunk and 4.0.x branch.
