- Well, unfortunately, a little while back I was tied up and against
- my will forced to allow "cd .." act like "cd [-]". The reason it
- shouldn't is that ".." is a UNIX filespec and FTP is supposed to
- implement the file specifications of the operating system it is
- running on. I agree with the previous poster that "CDUP" is the
- correct operating system independent way of going up one level in a
- directory tree.
