Description
Hello WP team,
I am using wordpress 6.6.2 on Debian with php 8.2.24, everything on recent patches.
Updates of local files via FS_METHOD ftpext with properly configured ftpd host, paths, credentials, file permissions.
When updating translations / language files , I run into an error as follows:
- Upload process uploads new jsons to wp-content/upgrade/wordpress-6.6.2-de_de, all fine
- It then tries to 'delete' the old wp-content/language files but treats them as directories, which fails. See ftpd log example 1. Note ftpd only accepts directories as parameter for nlist. The UI reports : "Updating translations for WordPress (de_DE)… Could not remove the old translation. Translation update failed."
Thank you for looking into this.

Replying to danroeg:
I think I have figured this out - I have been using "pure-ftpd" as ftpd. This does reject FILES as parameter for NLIST as written below (a recently introduced pure-ftpd 'feature'). I have switched to a different ftpd "vsftpd", which does accept FILES as parameter for NLIST. With this, updates seem to work. Yet you might want to reconsider the use of NLIST with FILES.
