>Environment:

	2.2.6-BETA FreeBSD 2.2.6-BETA #0: Tue Mar 24 13:28:00 EST 1998

>Description:

	fetch -c /somedir -f somefile -h server
is _quetly_ translated into
	fetch -c somedir -f somefile -h server
which, of course, breaks if the user's home directory on the server
is not /

>How-To-Repeat:

	setenv FTP_LOGIN your_login
	setenv FTP_PASSWORD yourPassword
	fetch -v -v -v -v -c /tmp -f fixit.flp.bz -h www
	...
	User your_login logged in.
	Sending: TYPE I
	Type set to I.
	Sending: CWD tmp
	tmp: No such file or directory.
	fetch: www: tmp: File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access)

Same problem occurs when using the URL mode as in
	fetch -v -v -v -v -o - ftp://www//tmp/fixit.flp.bz
Same result as above.

>Fix:
	
	Use some other tool. Providing extra slashes does not help
