The response is included, so if there's no text it means just that - 
Hobbit got no data when it connected to the ftp service.

Some servers have been known to disconnect immediately when Hobbit
sends the "quit" command, and then Hobbit never gets the banner
that it expects. You can try changing the [ftp] section in 
bb-services so that you remove the 
    send "quit\rn"
line. The ftp test will still work, and it might give you the result
you want.
