URI::FTP#path

() -> ::String?

path

# File tmp/rubies/ruby-4.0.0/lib/uri/ftp.rb, line 240
def path
  return @path.sub(/^\//,'').sub(/^%2F/,'/')
end

Returns the path from an FTP URI.

RFC 1738 specifically states that the path for an FTP URI does not include the / which separates the URI path from the URI host. Example:

ftp://ftp.example.com/pub/ruby

The above URI indicates that the client should connect to ftp.example.com then cd to pub/ruby from the initial login directory.

If you want to cd to an absolute directory, you must include an escaped / (%2F) in the path. Example:

ftp://ftp.example.com/%2Fpub/ruby

This method will then return “/pub/ruby”.
