of course that one won't work ... maybe that's a typo but that's
kinda the point.

Sorry, what's the typo?  Why won't it work?

since you're using ftp, 'ftp $PKG_PATH' should put you in the right
directory.  does it?

Well, I tried `links $PKG_PATH ` before - that worked. But with `ftp $PKG_PATH`, it appears to log in correctly, but ls never returns anything. This seems to happen with ANY ftp server actually (just tried a bunch), and is odd because I did use the commandline ftp utility frequently on 4.6 without any issue...

So the problem lies with the 'ftp' utility?
