FTP and Absolute Directories
[1/4] from: cribbsj::oakwood::org at: 17-Oct-2000 15:01
Some time ago I posted a question asking how I could ftp to a server and go to
a directory that was not below my home directory.
For example, I would like to ftp to another server here at work, and get a file
located in /var/local/datamover/test1/.
The problem is that Rebol seems to only let you specify relative directory
paths below where you ftp in.
So, if I use the ftp command and specify my user id and password, it will only
let me reference a directory below my home directory.
Perl, using the Net::FTP object lets me ftp using an absolute path. I'm hoping
someone out there has an idea how I can do this in Rebol. I would really like
to write this application in Rebol instead of Perl.
Thanks in advance for the help!

Did you try "../../path/path/path/goodfile.txt" ?

Hey, that worked!
I did:
read
ftp://user:[password--111--111--111--111]/../../var/local/datamover/test1/testfile1
and it worked.
Thanks very much for the help!

Did you try ftp://user:[pass--site]/../../ ?
