Directory separator and parent directory (General questions)

Hello,
some questions:
* is it certain that a slash / is always being
used as directory separator regardless of host
or client system?

* has the RemotePath never a trailing slash?

* actually a request (probably not possible with
version 2 if I understand other topics correctly):
support for parent directory method. Since FtpDlx
knows the RemotePath and directory separator, it
should also provide a means to go up as other
vendors do - regardless of absolute paths or not.
Saves your customers time and eases conversion. :-)

* FtpDlx offers RemotePath property. But a command
like (in Delphi):
wftp.RawSend ('CWD ..' + CRLF);
does not affect the RemotePath at all.
When is the RemotePath property actually reset/
re-evaluated by FtpDlx?
I'm guessing you'd suggest not to use it at all, right?
:-)

Cheers,
Tobias
