No. FTP URLs are SUPPOSED to be relative to wherever FTP puts incoming users. If you want to add a literal `/' to the URL, add `%2f' at the beginning. (Many URL parsers interpret this incorrectly... the third slash in an absolute URL is ONLY a separator, and does not comprise part of the `path' component.) -GAWollman -- Garrett A.
