Description

Calling FTPClient.listFiles(String pathname) results in an inaccurate file list being returned. The following test illustrates the issue:

    @Test
    public void remoteListFilesFailure() throws Exception {

        FTPClient client = new FTPClient();

        client.connect(REMOTE_SERVER);
        client.enterLocalPassiveMode();
        client.login(REMOTE_USERNAME, REMOTE_PASSWORD);
        client.setFileType(FTP.BINARY_FILE_TYPE);

        int reply = client.getReplyCode();
        if (!FTPReply.isPositiveCompletion(reply)) {
            client.disconnect();
            log.error("FTP server refused connection. reply=" + reply);
        }

        FTPFile[] rootFiles = client.listFiles("78/1295213/0/476312ca9c653ffc6cc8fb6e1649dae6/ModComp PO # 1054.pdf");
        Assert.assertEquals(1, rootFiles.length); // <-- fails with rootFiles.length = 0
    }
