CWD 4.1.1-RELEASE The "CWD ." is useless (it does practically nothing) and has the following problem: - with some ftp servers (like publicfile for example) the . and .. are hidden and not permited to the user, so it just gives errors like "file not found" when trying this. As this CWD . is not a usefull command, i think there should be no problem in removing it, and this would help users of non-standard (bsd/wu ftpd) ftp servers. The problem was not present in 4.1-RELEASE >How-To-Repeat: install 4.1.1-RELEASE >Fix: Remove the "CWD .", as this is an useless command. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
