Description

Common FTP servers (like vsftpd) responses' to PWD don't have a commentary as per RFC959.

vsftpd, MockFtpServer and others respond thusly:

> 257 "/"

The current handling in FTPClient.__parsePathname simply returns everything after "257 ". This breaks other code that relies on Apache FTPClient, like the Camel FTP2 component.

I suggest that, for increased resilience, this brief response be special-cased.

vsftpd maintainer has been notified too, but it's just an email address.
