Can you please show us the output of a "dir" command on the server? I 
once noticed that the Microsoft FTP server had a directory listing 
format that differs in minor details from the format that most other FTP 
servers use. As the FTP directory listing parser in the Midnight 
Commander is self-written (that is: not using any third-party library), 
we may not have caught yet every possible FTP listing format.
