Description

Hi,
I am connecting to an ftp server with my username and password. When I call ftpClient.listNames(); it returns 0 length string array although i am very sure that there are files inside.

I also know that when I changed the ftp server to another one this function works. So I am assuming the server that I connected has a weird ftp server. When I called the function ftpClient.getSystemName() it returns UNKNOWN Type: L8.
If I call ftpClient.listNames I got this exception
org.apache.commons.net.ftp.parser.ParserInitializationException: Unknown parser type: UNKNOWN Type: L8
at org.apache.commons.net.ftp.parser.DefaultFTPFileEntryParserFactory.createFileEntryParser(DefaultFTPFileEntryParserFactory.java:125)
at org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTPClient.initiateListParsing(FTPClient.java:2362)
at org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTPClient.listFiles(FTPClient.java:2145)
at org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTPClient.listFiles(FTPClient.java:2192)

I have to get the filenames from the server, so how can I solve the problem.
Thanks for the helps.
