Cannot browse FTP directory

FTP Server: sftpgo 2.1.0
VLC Android: 3.3.4

The cause of the problem seems to be that vlc is treating the directory as an unknown type.
Vlc is using case-sensitive lookups in processing MLST responses, which should be case-insensitive according to the RFC3659.

sftpgo MLST Response:
Type=dir;Size=0;Modify=20200715074856; dir_name

vlc Process:
strstr( psz_line, "type=dir" )

RFC3659:
Fact names are case-insensitive
