URL Access Scripting misbehavior?

I suffer with the reality that files uploaded via
URL Access Scripting
seem to get their names altered on the receiving end of a particular FTP
server.
The particulars:
the FTP server is Telnet 2.7b4 running on MacOS 9
The script call is
upload x to
"
ftp://user:email@hidden//pathToFile/theFileName.foo";
without binhexing
What happens:
the file is stored on the receiving server as
theFileName.foo
Look hard - it's preceded by a blank space ( in the URL).
Paradoxically:
the same script call works fine with a BSD server running ftpd, and
files sent from the (command line ftp) to the affected server do not get
their names prepended with anything.
BTW: the previous version of the telnet server (2.6) prepended the file
names with "/" in this scenario.
I have fiddled with all the available server settings, without avail.
Suggestions to remedy, please!
And be kind about characterizing my use of a free FTP server....
