Any way to cd within an ftp command using the JAL?! I'm ftp'ing a MainFrame ftp server that logs me on as the id I'm using - need to do a cd.. before entering the filename to get.

File names can include absolute or relative path, for example
"\\data\\today\\newfile.dat"

...yeah, but I'm ftp'ing to a VMS o/s, which uses filenames like 'sps.333.rem.ytu'. Here's an example of the problem:

-I'll log into the prefix 'abc', then do an ftp get of file 'sps.333.rem.ytu' - it'll look for 'abc.sps.333.rem.ytu', not find it, and not do the get. I need to be able to establish an ftp connection, then do a 'cd ..' command, THEN get 'sps.333.rem.ytu'; I can probably work around this issue - just looking for suggestions.

thanks
