i want to use curlftpfs to access an ftp server over the tor network. since curlftpfs 0.9.1 claims it has socks server support the command:
#./curlftpfs -v -osocks5,proxy=localhost:9050,user=anonymous:a@b.com ftp.kernel.org /tmp/kernel

should mount the kernel.org ftp directory to /tmp/kernel. when the command is invoked i only get:
* Couldn't find host ftp.kernel.org in the .netrc file, using defaults
* About to connect() to proxy localhost port 9050
* Trying 127.0.0.1... * connected
* Connected to ftp.kernel.org (127.0.0.1) port 9050
* Server auth using Basic with user 'anonymous'
> LIST -a HTTP/1.1
Authorization: Basic YW5vbnltb3VzOmFAYi5jb20=
Host: ftp.kernel.org:21
Accept: */*

and the programm hangs for a long time (i.e. 5 mins)
after which it sais
* Connection #0 to host ftp.kernel.org left intact

and indeed when issuing #mount the corresponding line is in the output,
nontheless even an #ls on the mountpoint does never succeed (ls just hangs seemingly forever),
(yes i know that tor is slow sometimes but using #torify ncftp for example the listings appear within second(s))

please let me know what other information i can provide to help you reproduce/debug this problem.

thanks for an otherwise very neat tool
