RE: Odd FTP server behavior ...

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Our machine is set to NAMEFMT 1, and the initial directory is the user's
home directory, so you have to CD to a library before you can change to
NAMEFMT 0, if you want to.

The reason for the setup is to have an automatic redirect to a different
folder for each user. Of course, you have to have created the folder in the
/home directory, and the user profile home directory parm is set to
*USRPRF. (How *nixy can you get, eh?)

So, I guess I recommend putting all the statements you need into the script
- like QUOTE SITE NAM and CD and (BIN or ASC), etc., to be sure you have
the environment and behavior you need.
