Problem with cd command

[PReitano]

Hi,

I just downloaded ftp with the windows ftp utility from ni.com.
So far every command seems to work well with this vi, except for cd (change directory).
When I enter dir in the ftp command box, I get a list of files and directories.  Then when I enter cd /<directory name> to access a subdirectory I get no error message however then when I enter ls command to list the files I get the exact files from the parent directory.  Can someone help me in determing what am I doing wrong.

Thanks

Some UNIX boxes require chdir instead of cd.  Try this.  Also, issuing the command cd /<dir name> will start at root (first slash).  If the parent is not root, don't use the slash, like cd <subdir>, or use dot slash (./), like cd./<subdir>.

Sorry, none of your suggestions worked.
However I did find out that if I enter cd /lee then press enter and enter ls, I get the list of the files in the /lee directory.
I don't know why, does anybody.  The following is the exact command all enter in a string control.

cd /lee
ls

If cd /lee works, the only conclusion I can come to is that the directory you are asking for does not exist.  Check the spelling, look for spaces and/or special characters.  A space at the end of a string is not very noticeable.  I don't think UNIX can handle spaces in file names like "Program Files".  I would like to hang the MS idiot that made this allowable in windows.  Causes nothing but problems.
