FTP Default Name Space 

FTP default name space is "ALWAYS" MPE name space when specifying files
to be transferred with FTP commands (PUT or GET as examples).  The only
exception to this is the FTP MKDIR and RMDIR commands which only operate
with POSIX directories, thus, if you did not specify the (./) POSIX
prefix, FTP/iX specifies it for you.

For example, assume the POSIX current working directory "cwd" is:  /SYS/ 
WORK
