Update: Rebex FTP/SSL 2016 R1 includes an automated workaround for this issue.

Thank you for the log file. Actually, the server has badly implemented MLSD command as it incorrectly responds to the MLSD command with the bad "226 Listing" response as can be seen in the log file:

2015-08-19 17:16:54.660 INFO Ftp(1)[13] Command: MLSD /
2015-08-19 17:16:54.874 INFO Ftp(1)[13] Response: 226 Listing /

As a workaround please disable the MLSD extension with the code below and let me know whether it helped:

Ftp ftp = new Ftp();
ftp.EnabledExtensions &= ~FtpExtensions.MachineProcessingList;

A workaround that automatically disables the MLSD extension will be released with the next version of Rebex components.
