[comp.os.msdos.programmer] ftp announcement courtesies

This is really nit-picking in this context, but I'm on a crusade,
so don't even try to stop me :-)

Those of you with full ftp may think it a waste of keystrokes, but
_please_, for the benefit of us underprivledged souls who must rely
on list servers to do our ftp's, when announcing files for ftp
include _both_ the directory name _and_ the filename.  While a
trivial string of CD's and LS's for those with the Power, the 2 or
three day turn-around with list servers can mean many frustrating
weeks of probing just to obtain a file.
