Bug#251051: nautilus: ftp should not do LIST -l

[David N. Welton]

Package: nautilus
Version: 2.4.2-2
Severity: normal


I'm working with an ftp server that is somewhat limited in ability,
and I tried to use nautilus with it.  Nautilus is unusable because it
always attempts to perform a 'LIST -L' to get a directory listing.

This is not correct behavior according to my reading of the RFC.

The fact that ls -l works on some ftp servers is an artifact of
passing the argument to the ls command.
