Hello Friends @ 3000-L,

Re: Thoughts on FTP/iX enhancements - Responses [5/13/99]

1.  A new "site" command SITE POSIX ON | OFF
2.  POSIX behavior of DIR (LIST) "ls -al" format.
3.  POSIX PWD response
4.  POSIX PUT
5.  POSIX GET
6.  ASCII GET of bytestream files = BINARY GET

I had a thought on a response Jeff Kell wrote and a past thread concerning WRQ
FTP client and the problems with drop/drag & the "NONEXISTANT GROUP" error.

---------------------------------------------------------------Jeff Kell says--
Fine, provided this works around the "filename.ext" ambiguity with
filename.groupname we have now.
---------------------------------------------------------------Jeff Kell says--

I am thinking the enhancements #1,#4,#5 above may/might resolve this problem
with drop/drag & this FTP client.

For those who are more familiar with WRQ FTP client than I, can you give me
information on where this problem is seen with the WRQ FTP client.  I understand
that the problem is seen on DRAG/DROP but is this both PUT's & GET's ?  Also is
the same problem seen at the command line ?  any details will help this
investigation.
