RE: FTP question

"cd" harkens back to MS-DOS.

"pwd" harkens from *NIX.

Despite many years on UNIX & AIX, I still used the "cd" versions on IBM.

I have never used lcd without a parameter, either - it means "local
change directory", so it is changing directory on the client. If I want
to know what directory I am in locally, I use lpwd - local present
working directory.

To do the same on the server, just use the same functions without the
leading "l" - cd and pwd.

Cheers

Not sure what lcd without any parameter is supposed to do. I think, it's merely printing your current working directory so you know "where you are". Thus, probably not needed.
