I was trying to use wget 1.8.2 to access a file outside my home dir in the
following fashion:

ftp://username:passwd@hostname/../../dir/file

This didn't work.  wget reported it couldn't find the file.
But if I do this, it works:

ftp://username:passwd@hostname//dir/file

Can someone explain this?  Is this a bug?
With normal FTP, I cd .. to the parent directory just fine..

This was from AIX 3.4 to another AIX machine..
