I'm connecting to an FTP server that is sending a weird welcome message
that makes xharbour's FTP client misbehave.

After opening the connection the server responds with 3 messages:
220-ftp.planexware.com X2 WS_FTP Server 8.8.6(05886341)
Private System.
220 ftp.planexware.com X2 WS_FTP Server 8.8.6(05886341)

As can be seen, the 2nd message doesn't include the 220- prefix showing
there's more messages to come.

Other FTP clients like Filezilla or Windows' FTP client takes care of
this issue and continue, while xharbour's client looses the synchronization.

Is there any way to bypass it?
