It isn't a bug in libcurl at least. libcurl asks the server for a list of file
entries (using LIST). The server provides a list. If that list lacks entries,
that is because the server decided it should lack them. You can try to provide
extra options to the list command by using a customrequest (like "LIST -a"),
but that is beyond what RFC959 defines.
