Several people have complained they couldn't follow my directions to Roger Dannenberg's Fugue program. One person just told me flatly they couldn't work. O ye of little faith!

Well, the _real_ reason is: ftp> pwd 257 "/tmp" is current directory. is where your ftp session starts. Folks, don't assume that all ftpd's do a chroot(). With regards to AFS (Andrew File System), all such bets are off. Also, don't be fooled by: >230 Filenames can not have '/..' in them Take it literally: You _can_ do a "cd .." -- you just can't cd with a path spec that has the _string_ "/.." in it.
