>Description:
Since 8.0-RELEASE ncftpput partially fails.

The files are uploaded but the message is annoying. I'm running 7.2 and 8.0 Releases. I upgraded a few machines from 7.2 to 8.0 and all of the show the errors.

- I checked with IIS7 ftp Servers and vsftpd Servers to ensure it is not related to the ftp service.
- Also, there is no firewall in place, client and server are in the same subnet.
- I checked with physical and virtual machines.
- Again, 7.2 is fine on the same machine (I set up a dual boot config to test).

# ncftpput -u user -p password ftp.charlieroot.de / /boot/kernel/kernel
/boot/kernel/kernel:                                    11.78 MB   19.55 MB/s
Could not read reply from control connection -- timed out.
Could not preserve times for kernel: timed out while waiting for server response.

Some other apps are therofore affected, e.g. duplicity.
