Have you tested it against more than one ftp-server?  What  ftp server 
is  it  that  you  are  having the problem with?  Alas the ftp-protocol 
sometimes leaves room for more than one "correct" behavior. We test it 
against several ftp-servers but it is not possible to cover all 
ftp-srvers that are out there.  Could you send me the crash you get in 
the erlang shell. ( You can send it to me privately. ) With the crash 
report maybe I can help you.
