Usually, when something works from all FTP clients except one or two, it's
worth looking at the behaviour of the FTP clients as a likely cause of the
problem.
Most command-line FTP clients allow you to set a "debug" and/or "verbose"
mode, in which they will display commands sent and responses received. In
the Windows FTP client, ftp.exe, for instance, you can run "ftp -d" to
enter debug mode (it's already in verbose mode), so that you can see
exactly the commands and responses. You'll probably find similar options
for your Unix FTP client.
That will then allow you to see exactly what's different, and hopefully
show why this is failing.
One hint on Unix is to avoid any use of the "\" (backslash) character, as
it means something different there.
Alun.
