Summary:                    ftp does not use correct paths AND ftp does not work
with servers that do not support the ALLO cmd
Description: 
Some ftp servers (vsftpd) do not support the ALLO cmd, while all servers
handle a ftp STOR without a preceeding ALLO cmd.  So the ALLO cmd seems to
be a hinderance and might as well be taken out.

Also, ftp does not handle the local and remote pathnames correctly, and
sometimes use the basename of one of them as the basename of the other!! 


A patch file that fixes both these issues is attached.

vsftpd does support ALLO. The bugs in ftpput were fixed. Just tested it
today.
