publicfile peculilarities, ftpd trouble

Greetz all,

I had a couple of questions mainly regarding the ftpd publicfile daemon.

When I connect to ftpd remotely, a listing of my public datastore shows:

ftp> dir
200 Okay.
150 Making transfer connection...
+i16.2810880,m1038536074,/,     pub
226 Success.
33 bytes received in 0.0086 seconds (3.77 Kbytes/s)

What in the world is the information printed before the directory name?

When I try to go back one directory, it seems to be trying to put me in a
subdirectory called ".." of my current directory:

ftp> pwd
257 "/pub/linux_apps"
ftp> cd ..
250 "/pub/linux_apps/.."
ftp> pwd
257 "/pub/linux_apps/.."
ftp> dir
200 Okay.
550 Sorry, I can't open that file: file does not exist.
ftp>

Why this behavior, instead of moving back one directory?

TIA for any help.
