I've been using FileZilla for all my ad hoc ftp needs for some time now -
works great to all manner of Unix, Windows and Linux systems. However, it
does not work with MPE, at least not with my relatively current 6.5 system.

I can log on and log off OK, but the problem appears to be this:

FileZilla issues the PWD command to get the working directory information.
On every other system I've tried, the result is something like

257 "home/openmpe" is the current working directory

However, MPE responds with something like

257-"/SYSADMIN/PUB" is the current directory.
257 "MGR.SYSADMIN,PUB" is the current session.

The second line appears to be confusing FileZilla because it reports the
current directory as /MGR.SYSADMIN,PUB/, which of course does not work.

Before I go off in search of some other solution, does anyone know if either

1. There is a way of telling MPE's ftp server NOT to display the second
line, or
2. A more recent version than mine of ftp on MPE that does not display the
second line?
