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.
