Actually, there is an [TCPIP$FTP] directory owned by TCPIP$FTP that contains the same file.

Directory SYS$SYSDEVICE:[TCPIP$FTP]

LOGIN.COM;1         TCPIP$FTP_ANONYMOUS.LOGSAV;1
TCPIP$FTP_RUN.LOG;642                   TCPIP$FTP_RUN.LOG;641
TCPIP$FTP_RUN.LOG;640                   TCPIP$FTP_RUN.LOG;639
TCPIP$FTP_RUN.LOG;638

$ dir sys$sysdevice:[ucx$ftp]*.*

Directory SYS$SYSDEVICE:[UCX$FTP]

LOGIN.COM;1         UCX$FTPD.LOG;57     UCX$FTPD_STARTUP.COM;1
UCX$FTPD_STARTUP.LOG;57                 UCX$FTP_ANONYMOUS.LOGSAV;1

Not sure how this works.  These 2 directories have some files in common but not all files in common.  How can that be?
