Hi admins !

i've a strange problem using IE with ftp.
I want to connect to my HPUX serveur from a NT4 client trough Internet
Explorer with the following syntax:

ftp://user:password@hostname/dir1/dir2

The user is declared in /etc/passwd and have his home directory: /u/user,
with login shell /usr/bin/ksh

When i try this from my client, i can connect to hostname in /dir1/dir2.

When another user tries from another client in another country (with exactly
the same syntax), ftp want to connect him in /u/user/dir1/dir2 and then
error msg: /u/user/dir1/dir2: no such file or directory

Why is the home directory added in front of /dir1/dir2 ? How can i avoid
this ?

TIA

rgds,
