Description of problem:
When i want to connect to a ftp-server with ipv6-addresses, it4s a difference 
if i use the global or the link-local address. When i use the link-local 
address, i get the return "Invalid argument", when i use the global address, 
itB4s working. In my example i connect to local ftp-server of the machine, 
where i work.

Please use vsftpd instead. wu-ftpd is not maintained anymore.
