[lug] wget question

[Jim Buzbee]

Anyone have expertise with wget ?

I've been trying to convince wget to fetch a file for me without much 
luck. I'm using an ftp url with embedded username and password. e.g. :

ftp://user:password@host/

My problem is that the file I want to get is one directory above the 
login directory, i.e. ftp://user:password@host/../MYFILE - But wget 
seems to ignore the .. path.  If I interactively ftp in, I can get the 
file without issue so it's not any sort of permission problem.

Anyone know the magic wget invocation ?
