For the first one, you need to specify a host to run the 
test.

For expample,
  >python ftplib.py ftp.python.org -l
This gives
  drwxrwxr-x   5 webmaster webmaster      512 Jan 25  
2003 pub

There is a usage on the test in the script:
'''Test program.
Usage: ftp [-d] [-r[file]] host [-l[dir]] [-d[dir]] [-p] 
[file] ...'''

I think this is not a bug.


For the second one, catching OSError along with IOError 
might be needed.
