Ack, this is correct.

Ah, I'm sorry I overlooked this. This could be solved with passing it as a first
parameter and shift, but I'll stop to be picky on an implementation detail.

Understand, ack. Thanks for your work!

The fastest solution is to merge your fixed version.
But there should be even more modifications:
RHOST is obsolete, instead $(tst_ipaddr rhost) should be used.

Therefore we should decide if this smoke test (and other FTP tests in LTP) is
worth effort. If yes, I should force myself to create ftp_lib.sh and migrate
everything to work similar way as ftp-upload-stress.sh.

Kind regards,
Petr
