Huh?

I don't understand why this should be a surprising feature. We expected this behavior with Appleshare. Why wouldn't it be the case for FTP with a Unix-based Mac OS?

The amazing thing is that it still doesn't work well for downloads, never mind uploads and file management. One can hope that ultimately we will use FTP or SFTP for all file sharing.

One should hope that we DON'T ultimately go to FTP and SFTP for everything. An ftp server is actually pretty inefficient. Although I haven't had good experiences with it, something like WebDAV is MUCH better. FTP is useful, but the server just isn't very efficient.
