Bug#1852: ncftp: cannot enter Incoming

[jdassen@WI.LeidenUniv.NL (J.H.M.Dassen)]

Package: ncftp
Version: 2.1.0-1

ncftp-2.1.0 cannot cd into ftp.debian.org:/debian/private/project.
It can get to private, but gives "Permission denied" when entering project.

ncftp-1.9.2 on an SGI can enter this location.

This is what the permissions look like from the inside (/debian.org/ftp
is the top ftp directory):

It looks like ncftp fails when trying to cd downwards in a directory for
which the user has 'x' but no 'r' privilege.
