 |if we run this via a proxy server running DeleGate, it just returns one line containing the word 'dummy'.  Can anyone explain this behaviour?

It is normal that DeleGate as a FTP-proxy returns its default root
including "dummy" only if you don't specify what is the root with a
parameter like MOUNT="/* ftp://ftpserver/*" (with which DeleGate acts
like a "reverse-proxy" for FTP).

I don't know what you expect for the response in the initial listing
without specifying whati is your target server.  You can specify it
("ftpserver" for example) in the USER or CWD like follows.

 $ftp->login("user@ftpserver","password")

 $ftp->cwd("//ftpserver")
