	Sorry, I made a mistake.  Let me rephrase the problem.
	The problem is not in ftp but in sysinst (I should check the source
	code but not possible right now).

	I used non-anonymous ftp from sysinst, like:
		user: itojun
		password: secret
		host: myhost.itojun.org
		path: /export4/home
	Then, sysinst shows a URL on the console, like:
		ftp://itojun:secret@myhost.itojun.org/export4/home
	But, it should be translated as
		ftp://itojun:secret@myhost.itojun.org/%2fexport4/home
	to respect full pathname I've entered.

itojun
