New submission from Ian Liu Rodrigues <ian.li...@gmail.com>:
Some FTP clients will not allow changing to a directory if the path does not
ends with a slash. For example, try out this in a public FTP:
from ftplib import FTP
ftp = FTP('ftp.unicamp.br')
ftp.login()
ftp.cwd('pub/libreoffice') # throws error
ftp.cwd('pub/libreoffice/') # OK
The problem is urllib.request doesn't include the trailing slash, thus throwing
an error. This behavior also happens with the command line ftp client.
I think this happens because the libreoffice directory is a symlink, and this
can be a FTP server specific behavior.
