One small point. URL2 as written above will be treated as a file and 
not a directory by libUrl. It needs a final forward slash to be 
treated as a directory.

I'm not sure about double slash conventions. If it works differently 
in other ftp clients then it's possible they are doing some 
manipulation to the url. It might be useful if you could post the 
Interarchy log/transcript so we can see the commands it's sending.
