I am trying to download a file from an ftp://ftp.site.com. It works using chrome and IE. But not Firefox. I get the error message 550 / pub: No such file or directory. I found that Firefox adds a space between the "/" and the directory name. Here is a view from view source. the %20 right before the directory pub is the space. 201: "%20pub" 0 Sun%20%2013%20Jul%202010%2000%3A00%3A00 DIRECTORY This error does not happen using IE or chrome. I also verified the space on the ftp server's log files. How can I get rid of the offending space.

I've seen this problem reported before and it may be caused by some IBM servers.

You can try this bookmarklet that I posted that previous time on page where it happens. 

javascript:(function(){var i,j=0;for(i=0;L=document.links[i];i++){if(/(\/%2520)/.exec(L.href]]{L.href=L.href.replace('/%2520','/');j++}} alert(j);})();


Bug 552034 – Most file links in FTP directory listing contain an extra space, rendering the links dysfunctional
