Apparently not generally so, as for example with a Solaris
client and a z/OS server:

    ftp> put |date ./foo.bar
    200 Port request OK.
    501 Invalid data set name "./foo.bar". Use MVS Dsname conventions.

Far more annoying is that the "lcd" command doesn't really
change your local directory as chdir() would:

    [EMAIL PROTECTED]:132$ cd /tmp 

    [EMAIL PROTECTED]:133$ ftp localhost
    220-FTPD1 IBM FTP CS V1R7 at MVS, 21:13:31 on 2007-10-26.

    Command:
    lcd /etc
    HFS directory /etc is the current working directory.

    Command:
    ! pwd
    /u/user

... so I can't do an LCD then a shell escape to list the
contents of the directory I changed to as I could on a
normal UNIX system.

    Command:
    quit
    >>> QUIT 
    221 Quit command received. Goodbye.

    [EMAIL PROTECTED]:134$ pwd
    /SYSTEM/tmp
