ftpget: Sorry, invalid address given
It wasn't the ftp client fault, but it was because the Pure-ftpd (ftp server) misbehaved. The fix is simple, just invoke Pure-ftpd with the -H parameter, like this:
pure-ftpd -B -H
The -H parameter means "Don't resolve host names ("192.0.34.166" will be logged instead of "www.example.com")". It should've been explained in the README file of Pure-ftpd source code, but it wasn't. At least someone poested the fix :-(.
