>Description:
RFC 1738 specifies that the '/' character separating the hostname from the url-path in a FTP url is a separator and should not be treated as a part of the url-path. Thus, ftp://foobar/baz/blah should retrieve the file 'baz/blah', but instead it tries to retrieve the file '/baz/blah'.
>How-To-Repeat:
> fetch -vv ftp://yyy:zzz@xxx/foo/bar/baz
scheme: [ftp]
user: [yyy]
password: [zzz]
host: [xxx]
port: [0]
document: [/foo/bar/baz]
---> xxx:21
looking up xxx
connecting to xxx:21
<<< 220 xxx FTP server (Version 6.00LS) ready.
>Fix:
>Release-Note:
>Audit-Trail:
>Unformatted:
>>> USER yyy
<<< 331 Password required for yyy.
>>> PASS zzz
<<< 230 User yyy logged in.
>>> TYPE I
<<< 200 Type set to I.
>>> CWD /foo/bar
<<< 550 /foo/bar: No such file or directory.
fetch: ftp://yyy:zzz@xxx/foo/bar/baz: File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access)
