Re: FTP to a Windows server with periods and underlines in a folder name

How about cd \CF.SOURCE ? (Note the slash)

I am FTPing from an iSeries to a Windows server to copy some files. I have
done this many times before without a problem. On this particular server the
developers of the application decided to use periods(.) and underlines(_) as
part of folder names. So a path on the windows server might be

apphome/CF.SOURCE/_HOLD_/filename

I can get to the home directory of apphome and do a ls command and see the
CF.SOURCE folder but when I try to do a "cd CF.SOURCE" it says it is not
found. I tried cd "CF.SOURCE" and cd 'CF.SOURCE' and nothing works. Just
for fun at had our Windows admin make the home folder for the user the
CF.SOURCE folder and I can then get inside that folder but can't cd into the
_HOLD_ folder. It is not an authority issue as the same username/password I
am using for the FTP can remote to the server and see all the folders and
files. I think this must be an FTP issue but I don't think it is unique to
iSeries FTP but still hoping someone here might have some suggestions.

Thanks
