This is because the ftp server places anonymous users in /file.

---->ftp
ftp> debug
Debugging on (debug=1).
ftp> passive
Passive mode on.
ftp> open juge.com
...
ftp> pwd
---> PWD
257 "/file" is the current directory.
...

so "cd file/os2" fails but "cd /file/os2" or "get /file/os2/AMORT.ZIP" 
succeed.
