We kluged it with a URL of "ftp://132.250.90.8/../FreeBSD" This is not necessarily FreeBSD's fault; the URL syntax and user misconceptions of it is the real problem. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
