Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ftp
It is not possible to specify absolute or relative paths to a file when
using PUT to upload a file to a remote VMS server. VMS doesn't use / as
a directory separator.
This works:
ftp> put test.txt
This does not work:
ftp> put /home/me/test.txt
local: /home/me/test.txt remote: /home/me/test.txt
200 PORT command successful.
501 File specification syntax error.
The follwing does work:
ftp> put /home/me/test.txt test.txt
I suggest that the path is stripped from teh remote filename if teh
remote host is VMS and no explicit remote file has been given. E.g. This
should work:
ftp> put /home/me/test.txt
local: /home/me/test.txt remote: test.txt
This affectd both Debian upstream as the Linux NetKit upstream.
** Affects: netkit-ftp (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: Unconfirmed
