Can anyone explain these two problems to me?  First, the simtel computer 
seems to be very ambivalent about whether or not it understands the "pwd"
command, as this session fragment shows:

 ftp> pwd
 500 I never heard of the PWD command. Try HELP.
 ftp> help
 Commands may be abbreviated.  Commands are: 

 !               cr              macdef          proxy           send
 $               delete          mdelete         sendport        status
 account         debug           mdir            put             struct
 append          dir             mget            pwd             sunique
                                                 ^^^


Second, it won't let me download files, e.g.:


ftp> get ZWP.ZIP
ZWP.ZIP: Permission denied


Any help would be appreciated.
