[ale] get vs. mget (FTP)

I am using a java ftps client to fetch files from a FTPS server
(Connect::Enterprise FTP server 2.1.xx).  Same results when I logged in
interactively or by simple ftp batch.

Here is the situation.

   - 'get blah.txt' went successfully  with 226 return code.
   - 'mget *' returned 'server 550 error' for each file (single file or
   multiple)

up debug level, I noticed that 'get blah.txt' sent 'RETR blah.txt', while
'mget *' sent 'RETR /mydefaulthomedir/blah.txt' to the server.
'pwd' showed that I am at /mydefaulthomedir right after I signed in, (or cwd
is done).

Any idea how I can ask this FTP client to send 'RETR blah.txt' for mget as
well, unless forbidden by RFC?
