The following reply was made to PR i386/7051; it has been noted by GNATS. From: "Jordan K.

We kluged it with a URL of > "ftp://132.250.90.8/../FreeBSD" Erm, I think this really is the expected behavior. If you're specifying an ftp://foo.bar/pub/baz URL, it's implicit that you're saying "relative to the anonymous FTP user" for pub/baz and this certainly works everywhere else. :) Unless you can really point out how changing this would not be a bug in and of itself, I will close this PR.
