Hello,

First: I'm working on an FTP server, so the actual problem might be in that. But there doesn't seem to be a similar problem in other ftp clients.

When I connect I see all folders correctly. I can enter one of the folders, that works as well. But nothing happens when I try to "go up" from the folder (backspace, enter when ".." is selected, duble-click on "..").

This problem only occurs for my ftp server, and only for servant salamander. But I'm having trouble identifying the problem. I cannot see any important looking differences in the log outputs.

Any help appreciated,

I think that PWD should return "/CMD-8" (instead of "CMD-8"). Let me know if it seems to be another problem.

You are right. I encounter this problem with several FTP servers so I guess this misconfiguration is quite common. It is very annoying because "go up" is possible only by clicking the path in the panel titlebar and clicking the ".." doesn't work. Other FTP clients (Filezilla, command line ftp, ...) take care about these cases so I think the workaround in the client should be implemented.
