0x2F is the ASCII forward slash. In a URL, the slashes are relevant, so if you tried to represent ...7.7.7//suse.... then it looks like is starts at a null root. Bzzzzt! So it must be converted to %2F to ensure that the FTP client won't try to parse it. A firewall is in the way or you haven't given the installer IP access to the HMC FTP function.
