Subject: 23.0.90; tramp: spurious ftp-error
Date: Fri, 20 Feb 2009 17:20:52 +0100

When I use Tramp to do an ftp transfer from Dired, I get error messages
like this:

Copy `/local/path/of/source/file' to `/ftp:name <at> server.dot.com:/remote/path/of/destination/file' failed:
(ftp-error FTP Error: DIR failed: usage: ls [remote-path [local-file]])

However, the file transer was in fact successful.  This started
happening some time within the last two or three weeks, I believe,
though I cannot date it precisely.
