Tested on:
==========

Lynx 2.7.2 (Solaris 2.5)

When I go to this place:

ftp://ftp.numega.com/Anonymous/updates

Lynx generates the following screen:

Current directory is /Anonymous/updates

   Up to Anonymous

     * text/plain       4PM       <DIR>          BoundsChecker301
     * text/plain       4PM       <DIR>          BoundsChecker302
     * text/plain       5PM       <DIR>          BoundsChecker42
     * text/plain       5PM       <DIR>          BoundsChecker501
     * text/plain       6PM       <DIR>          BoundsChecker502
     * text/plain       6PM       <DIR>          DPS
     * text/plain       7PM       <DIR>          sint105
     * text/plain       8PM       <DIR>          SoftICE301
     * text/plain       9PM       <DIR>          SoftICE322sp

When I try to go to the bottom link, it does not work.  Then I press '='
to see the URI info:

        URL: ftp://ftp.numega.com/Anonymous/updates
    Charset: iso-8859-1 (assumed)
     Server: weaver Microsoft FTP Service (Version 4.0).
   Owner(s): None       
       size: 13 lines   
       mode: normal     
Link that you currently have selected
   Linkname: 9PM <DIR> SoftICE322sp
        URL:
ftp://ftp.numega.com/Anonymous/updates/9PM%20%20%20%20%20%20%20
          %3CDIR%3E%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20SoftICE322sp

It turns out that Lynx generates wrong URIs for the links.  The URI for
the bottom linke should be
'ftp://ftp.numega.com/Anonymous/updates/SoftICE322sp', not the 2-line junk
that Lynx created.  My FTP session have proven this: 

ftp> dir
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for /bin/ls.

ftp> cd SoftICE322sp

I haven't check if Netscape still give me the same problem yet, but I
think it is highly unlikely.  Anyway, it should be fixed.
