   is both more readable and more accurate. Your separation between
   ``directory'' and ``file'' is a mistake, because some operating systems
   can express neither the null directory nor more than one directory in a
   single command. It's much more logical to have a composite filename,

However, FTP is oriented to "directory and file name" access -- you CD
to a directory, then you GET a file.  Thus, it's best to have two
fields -- the first one is "the argument to give to CD" and the second
is "the argument to give to GET".

Logically, it's still losing, but it corresponds more closely with the
model FTP presents.
