Description

At present, the Unix parser (v 1.2.1 of commons-net) doesn't match against a
file with a leading 's'.

A side effect is that the parser returns null back to engine.getFiles() (because
the listed line from the FTP server doesn't match the regex), which is then
added to the temp LinkedList being created.

The result is, you end up with null FTPFile instances in the collection returned
by listFiles().

I'm not sure if this is by design or not.
