Hi,

Since upgrading wget from 1.10.2 to 1.11 (on a Sun Solaris 9 server) I am no
longer able to retrieve files with a command similar to:

wget --user=xxx --password=xxx --output-document=logfile.txt
ftp://ftp.username.myby.co.uk/../logs/logfile.txt

It reports the following:

==> SYST ... done.    ==> PWD ... done.
==> TYPE I ... done.  ==> CWD /htdocs/logs ...
No such directory `logs'.

The directory htdocs is the 'home' directory, and so it looks as if wget has
not gone up one directory (ie. done the */../* part of the URL), before
going into logs.

This worked fine in 1.10.2, and I have also just discovered that it DOES
work in 1.11 if I go via a proxy server!
