OS version:  FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE
Program:     /usr/libexec/ftpd
Problem:     When using Mozilla/Netscape as client to access
             non-anonymous account on FreeBSD ftp server,
             client presents directory file as binary file for
             download instead of displaying directory contents.

Detailed description:

A problem appears to exist with using Mozilla/Netscape to access a
non-anonymous account on a FreeBSD 4.8R FTP server using syntax
ftp://[<password>:]<user>@<host>. Authentication is successful, then
a dialog box is displayed asking to download the directory file as a
binary file. FreeBSD 4.7R (/usr/libexec/ftpd) does not have this
problem.

Browsers tested:
Mozilla 1.0, 1.2, 1.3  FAILED
Netscape 7.0.2         FAILED
Netscape 4.7.9         OK
MS Explorer 6          OK
Konqueror 3.0.3        OK

Mike Lambert
