People have been having problems ftping full.tar.Z despite their
avoiding the CD command.  The solution is to specify the remote and
local file names separately:

	ftp> get
	remote file: full/full.tar.Z
	local file: full.tar.Z

For the curious, the problem is that when you type "get full/full.tar.Z"
to ftp it tries to retrieve the file "full/full.tar.Z" from the remote
host and put it in the local file "full/full.tar.Z".  If the directory
"full/" does not exist at your end you get an error message, and said
message does not say which host the file or directory does not exist on.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
