FTP: Automatic cd to user directory
Date: Fri, 1 Nov 2002 15:58:31 -0600 (CST)
I'd like to pose a question for experienced FTP users, though, not directly related to libcurl.
Seems like Microsoft FTP servers does an automatic change of directory at logon to a directory below the root that has the same name as the login name, if this directory exists. I'd like to know of this is the case on all FTP servers, and if this behavior can be disabled, leaving the user at the root of the hierarchy.
This has caused me some trouble with a project I've been developing with curl, since URLs are expressed in the form ftp://server/directory, if the server cd's me to another directory depending the user, this is is a problem.
Thank you in advance for any info.
