Yes, there are ftp gotchas.
They haven’t been fixed yet.
Here is a copy of an email exchange I had with support.
I fixed the responses so you don’t have to read from the bottom up.

Re: FTP issues with 5.5 {[CASE#31000]}
Problem Description: David, attached is the log.
Issues I have:
1) Outbound thread does not try to connect until a message is present.
I want the connection to be made immediately when I start the thread.
2) Enabling EO config to enable_all is not verbose enough with regard
to ftp.
3) When I stop the process as you’ll notice at the bottom of the log,
most
of the stuff I complained about in #2 gets spit out into the log.
4) The Outbound directory I have configured in NetConfig is:
//maindata/data/ftpprod/cloverleaf/cbord/test/adt_and_orders/
but the CWD command at the bottom of the log indicates it was only
trying to CWD into /maindata.
That’s it for now.

Dean tells me he got you past the primary problem of changing the working directory last week by reversing the slashes.
On the other issues with level of logging and fact logging does not show up until process is closed R&D has recognized those as bugs and initiated enhancement requests to fix those in future rev patch.

Yes, thanks for getting me past this problem Dean.
I don’t know how I would have figured that out.
David,
The fact that I can’t use Unix slashes is still a bug.
I should be able to use the same configuration as previous versions of Cloverleaf.
Unix slashes should be acceptable especially since I am on a Unix box.
Also, what about connecting when the thread is started?
If I wanted to delay the connection until there is data present, I would
have clicked that box in the NetConfig.
