Thank you all for your very fast response. As a further note: When this error occurs, wget bails out with the following error message:
"No such directory foo/bar".

I think it should instead be "Could not access foo/bar: Permission denied" or similar in such a situation.

I believe that CWD is mandated by the FTP specification, but you're
also right that Wget should try both variants.


i agree. perhaps when retrieving file A/B/F.X we should try to use:

GET A/B/F.X

first, then:

CWD A/B
GET F.X

if the previous attempt failed, and:

CWD A
CDW B
GET F.X

as a last resort. what do you think?
