title: wget getting 0-byte "listing" files from cleo vltrader
body: <p>I am having trouble with wget and a particular ftp server. The problem is that when wget requests a file listing, it comes back as 0 bytes. I can get the listing fine with Filezilla v3.5.3 and FireFTP v2.0.4.</p>
  
  <p>My wget is v1.13.4 running on Cygwin v1.7.15 / Windows XP. The ftp server identifies itself as "Linux Version: Cleo VLTrader/4.2.79 FTP server".</p>
  
  <p>If I can't get a file listing, I won't be able to automate my download process. How can I fix this?</p>

  Unsupported listing type, trying Unix listing parser.
