Sends MLSD command even if server doesn't support it

Description

I have a local (inside LAN) FTP server run by Bitvise SSH client. Trying to open it, FZ seems to always request MLSD even though the server doesn't support it. What's weird, FZ doesn't request neither SYST nor FEAT command so it couldn't even know what the server can.

MLSD is only used if the server advertises MLSD support in FEAT output. Note that the results of FEAT are cached per-server for the current FileZilla session.

Tim, yeah, caching was the issue. There was another MLSD-capable FTP server previously on that machine. Restarting FZ helped.

MLSD has been around for over 15 years, FTP over TLS, FEAT and SYST are even older. You definitely want to upgrade to a modern server.

If you know any freeware SFTP-FTP bridging software for Windows, I'll be glad to use it :) Until then, that one was the only I found.
