DescriptionIdentifier
In an FTP session, when the command ls is executed with the pathname
of any file followed by /., FTP displays the long listing of the file instead
of displaying the error message not found.
For instance, when the ls /etc/passwd/. command is issued in an
FTP session, the long listing of the file /etc/passwd is displayed.
