Ok, so it works with current curl by changing the second / by %2f like curl ftp://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/%2ftmp/A which works with wget also. or by using ftp://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]///tmp/A with curl compiled with this patch : --- curl-7.10.6-pre4/lib/ftp.c.fpons 2003-07-24 18:09:57.000000000 +0200 +++ curl-7.10.6-pre4/lib/ftp.c 2003-07-24 18:19:02.000000000 +0200 @@ -2134,12 +2134,15 @@ /* parse the URL path into separate path components */ while((slash_pos=strchr(cur_pos, '/'))) { + /* 1 or 0 to indicate absolute directory */ + int absolute_dir = cur_pos - conn->ppath > 1 && path_part == 0; /* seek out the next path component */ if (slash_pos-cur_pos) { /* we skip empty path components, like "x//y" since the FTP command CWD requires a parameter and a non-existant parameter a) doesn't work on many servers and b) has no effect on the others. */ - ftp->dirs[path_part] = curl_unescape(cur_pos,slash_pos-cur_pos); + ftp->dirs[path_part] = curl_unescape(cur_pos-absolute_dir, + slash_pos-cur_pos+absolute_dir); if (!ftp->dirs[path_part]) { /* run out of memory ... */ failf(data, "no memory"); which I hesitate to upload since /// is not very natural, it will force us to allow // and change test106 of curl.
