: Using this last method works with MS ftp.exe in Windows, but not with K95.
:
: Why does K95 insist on changing the filename?
:
Because on many operating systems, filenames containing multiple dots
(periods) are illegal.
To get around this use:
ftp put /filenames:literal D123.XXXXXX.YYYYYY.20071029.1
or:
ftp mput /filenames:literal <wildcard>
