I suggested changing the example to:
--to alpha.gnu.org:gnu/automake \\
But actually I had it exactly wrong, and you had it right in the first
place. The gnu/ must *not* be there in the filename: directive, because
the ftp-upload script on the server side puts it in. So it should come
back out; my earlier failed upload (which is why I sent the report) must
have failed for some other reason. (Depressing that the script no
longer bothers to send any error messages. Sigh.)
Very sorry, Ralf, but please undo ...
Let me try another minor suggestion: perhaps it would be worth including
the url
http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/Automated-FTP-Uploads.html in
the --help output.
Thanks,
Karl
