ftp command tries to fetch full path about ublu HOT 3 CLOSED

The ftp command is broken in a couple of ways in that it is partly broken in JTOpen itself. But I think if you use the -to localfilepath dashcommand or -tofile ~@{localfilepath} it will work.

-tofile would probably work. I didn't see that one. I think I tried -to and it just redirected the text output of the command (eg. the "226 File transfer completed successfully." text). As -tofile covers it, I'll close this issue. It's not the ideal default behavior, but it shouldn't cause too many problems, as most interactive use will probably use relative paths (or just an FTP program) and most scripted use should use -tofile anyway.

The -tofile and -to dichotomy arises from the fact that -to interprets a tuple as a the user wanting the output in a tuple. It interprets different forms as different types of datasinks. -tofile means "any way I provide the arg, I mean a file". The way I coded FTP (shudder) is that if -to points to a file datasink, the output file is set to that. Other than that, -to redirects the text output of the command. Ugh. Try -tofile and see if it works.
