Can't set strictReturnCode to false for SYST

Question

Hello,
The FTP server I'm using replies "213 Unix style list format" to a SYST command. As you see, it doesn't reply the good code, 215. But even if I use setStictReturnCode(false), the API throws an exception.
It sems to be useless to catch it because a SYST command is sent each time I try to LIST unless a previous SYST has been successful.
As a result, I'm unable to LIST on this FTP server.

Answer 1

What exception is thrown when setStictReturnCode(false) is used? Can you post the stack trace?

Also, you can fake a successful SYST by

ftp.setFTPFileFactory(new FTPFileFactory("UNIX"));

or

ftp.setFTPFileFactory(new FTPFileFactory("WINDOWS"));

So if you call the above before using dirDetails(), you should be ok.
