You may have run an 'upgrade' in the server software @ GXS. I'd definitely ask.
Over the years I've encountered any number of FTP servers which don't obey all
the normal rules...and often offer "extensions"
("for your convenience").
Plus, different FTP clients may do the same thing different ways... which
explains why your 'other' FTP client still works.
e.g., I had one recently (Covisint) which would not do 'ls path/*' or 'mget
path/*', but if you first did "cd path" followed by "ls
*" or "mget *" it worked perfectly. So I changed my FTP client software (I
mean the one I wrote) to call the appropriate function
to CD and forgot about the path part of the download spec and now that works
too.
Something more specific... and maybe even useful....

If on a Windows machine, instead of 'lcd <pathspec>' you might try !cd
<pathspec>; "!" is supposed to do a client OS call so that
might work
