Or, better yet, _DO_ forget to prepend the trouble-causing $CWD to those paths. As you might recall from my changes for VMS FTP servers (if you had ever looked at them), this scheme causes no end of trouble. A typical VMS FTP server reports the CWD in VMS form (for example, "SYS$SYSDEVICE:[ANONYMOUS]"). It may be willing to use a UNIX-like path in a CWD command (for example, "CWD A/B", but it's _not_ willing to use a mix of them (for example, SYS$SYSDEVICE:[ANONYMOUS]/A/B"). At a minimum, a separate CWD should be used to restore the initial directory. After that, you can do what you wish. On my server at least (HP TCPIP V5.4), "GET A/B/F.X" will work, but the mixed mess is unlikely to work on any VMS FTP server. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Steven M.
