which FTP server do you use for uploading ?

Comment 2

[Kathleen :Brade]

I would guess that the url being used for publishing is an ftp url and that it
is missing a '/'
for example: instead of ftp://ftp.foo.com/mydir/
you might try this:     ftp://ftp.foo.com//mydir/

There is a difference from Netscape 4.x and Netscape 6/7 for ftp code.  Logging
into an ftp server may root you in a different place and not necessarily at the
root so the extra slash may be needed (in some cases) if you are publishing to a
root path rather than one in the login default directory.  You can confirm ftp
behavior by using the browser:  ftp://[e-mail]/

Without more information I am resolving this as invalid.
Please comment here if you have more information which could help explain what
this bug is about (we can reopen the bug if it becomes valid).
