5329.0. "cd with unix-style path vs UCX V4.* series" by STAR::PCLARK () Tue Mar 11 1997 09:31
Somewhere in the FTP server a convenient logical name feature has
broken in the last N years. I'm running V4.1, ECO 2, and this is
the problem:
220 sitbul FTP Server (Version V4.1-12) Ready.
...
FTP> cd disk$resdv3pac:[build_i]
250 CWD command succesful.
FTP> pwd
257 "DISK$RESDV3PAC:[BUILD_I]" is current directory.
FTP> cd /disk$resdv3pac/build_i/
550 Failed to set default directory to DISK$RESDV3PA:.BUILD_I]
FTP> cd /junk/build_i/
550 Failed to set default directory to [JUNK.BUILD_I]
DISK$RESDV3PAC is a system logical. The token "JUNK" is not a logical
name. I think UCX is trying to help out with a unix-style path by
testing the initial segment for a match with a VMS logical name. It
comes close, but is losing a character or two just before it tries to
perform the set directory call.
This is not unique to V4.1 ECO2. I also tried this on a V4.0 system with
no ECO's applied:
220 custer FTP Server (Version 4.0) Ready.
...
FTP> cd sys$system
250 CWD command succesful.
FTP> pwd
257 "SYS$SYSROOT:[SYSEXE]" is current directory.
FTP> cd /sys$system/
550 Failed to set default directory to /SYS$SYSTEM/
So it looks as if V4.0-* is not even trying to support a unix-style path.
Although I have no older UCX to test my assertion on, I believe that a
unix-style path used to work for CD somewhere in the V3.* series. I
can't claim a customer needs this, so there won't be an IPMT.

| It's a problem with the pathname translation routine.
I have corrected this and the fix should be coming out
soon.
