Hello. I am having trouble setting up a git repository on an ftp server. The repository is bare and has had several commits made before being moved to the ftp server. I am attempting to clone from my ftp server, but git fails with the ftp error code 550. Inspection of the ftp packets via wireshark reveals that git is successfully changing to its desired working directory on the ftp server, but then it attempts to execute the 'size' command on the refs directory which generates the error code 550. Is this normal behavior or is it a bug?
