Description Bill Fenner 2001-12-08 19:10:03 UTC 
	

libfetch does not use RFC 1738's definition of FTP: URLs.  It appears
to send a single

CWD /<directory part of URL, without URL-escaping>

as opposed to splitting it at slashes, unescaping each piece, and
sending each as an argument to an individual CWD command.

Fix: 

Implement RFC 1738's definition of FTP: URLs, as fetch(1) used to before
libfetch was introduced.
How-To-Repeat: 	

use "fetch" to fetch an ftp: URL.
Since there is no debugging output, use "tcpdump" to see what is sent
 on the ftp command channel.
