>Description:

A command like
	fetch -o /existing/dir ftp:/non/existent/file
will give the bogus error message
	fetch: /existing/dir/file: Not Found

This is bogus (or at least highly misleading) because it is not
the local file that is not found, but the remote one.

Without the -o file, then it gives a more reasonable message:
	$ fetch ftp://ftp.freeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/not-here
	fetch: not-here: Not Found
	$

>How-To-Repeat:

$ fetch -o /tmp ftp://ftp.freeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/not-here
fetch: /tmp/not-here: Not Found
$ 

[NB: I'm using an HTTP_PROXY environment variable if that makes any difference.]
>Fix:

Unknown.
