Shell arguments...possible bugs? please verify

[Belxjander]

Are shell arguments using some kind of stack or buffer?

in recently trying the ftp program in the shell I was seeing "connection refused" and "unknown host" responses for a direct IPv4 numeric address.

using "ftp <IP> <PORT>" gave errors where using the open command inside the ftp "shell" worked fine.

can anyone else confirm?

It looks like there's a bug in the ftp command's command line parsing, when the port is specified:

Code: Select all

11.AmigaOS:> ftp main.aminet.net 21
ftp: connect: Connection refused
ftp> quit
11.AmigaOS:> ftp main.aminet.net
Connected to aminet.net.
220 ProFTPD 1.3.3a Server (My FTP server) [::ffff:69.163.220.116]
Name (main.aminet.net:root):
