gFTP drag and drop bug

Binary package hint: gftp

I installed standard gFTP 2.0.18 through Add/Remove in main menu (2.0.18-17ubuntu1). I tried to upload some files (specifically: xmlsitemap module for Drupal on the hosting run by Godaddy.com, if that matters). It works if I select a directory and then click GUI “Upload” button. However, if I try to drag and drop it logs series of errors, then creates an empty directory on the server, which I cannot do anything with through the client itself (not open it, delete etc. — it shows error:

CWD /FootBoise.us/sites/all/modules/xmlsitemap
550 Can't change directory to /FootBoise.us/sites/all/modules/xmlsitemap: Permission denied

Nor can I change the permissions.)

I couldn’t do anything to that empty directory using Godaddy.com’s own web-based filemanager. Except one thing — renaming it. After that I could apparently change permissions (although to no effect in gFTP), but I still couldn’t move the directory (it would show error) nor delete it (it would say it was deleted successfully, but on refresh it still would be there).

Bug is replicable (I’ve done it twice), here’s log:

Update. I’ve tried deleting those directories with FireFTP (addon for FireFox), and while it still showed error 550 (can't change directory) it did, in fact, delete those folders. Don't know if it's still part of the same gFTP bug, or is it FTP lock removed from server's memory after some time (I've read something like that).
