   I recently converted my FTP server's disk to ODS5, so I
could add a directory with a few ODS5 extended file names.
(None with an embedded "/", so what could go wrong?)

      ftp://antinode.info/moz_test/ods5

This may be the only family of FTP servers on the planet which
are unable to accept as input a file name as it appears in
their own directory listings.  Believe it or don't.

   In case anyone should ask:

alp $ tcpip show version

  HP TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS Alpha Version V5.6 - ECO 4
  on a COMPAQ Professional Workstation XP1000 running OpenVMS V8.3
