On my iSeries, when I do a cd /something/something  it automatically
switches me to name format 1, as long as the cd is the first thing that I
do.

Therefore, I've had good luck with using something like this:

ftp://user:passwd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/home/klemscot/

What actually happens (behind the scenes) is that the web browser connects
to the FTP server, and then as soon as it logs in, it sends a "cd
/home/klemscot/" to the FTP server, which causes it to switch to name
format 1.

I haven't done that with IE, though, since I don't use it.  (And I'm not
at work where I can try it)  but I would sure think that it would do the
same thing that Netscape does..

Hope that helps...
