Error description
When multiple ftp clients use mget command in parallel, unexpected file may be downloaded by rare timing window. For example, one ftp client sends "mget fileA*" request and another one sends "mget fileB*", former client may download latter "fileB*". This problem also happens on mdelete and proxy mode mput.
Local fix
1. Don't use mget command in parallel 2. Use "ls" and "get" independently instead of using mget
