I don't believe so. According to the traces, Tramp has delegated the
work to ange-ftp.

I cannot reproduce it here. Maybe it is due to the nature of the remote
FTP server ("220 Microsoft FTP Service"); I have no access to this kind
of server for testing.

Guido, if possible you could use another method to access, like "smb".
