I must manage existing gentoo server where previous maintainer has left
company.
lftp is not found in gentoo and nobody knows how to activate it. So I must
use existing ftp.
This issue may not realted to ftp program.
I verified multiple times that file exists and is readable.
Any ides why ftp does not find /root/my-backups/mybackup6.backup ? There
must be something simple.
Can /root directoy access from fpt program is disabled for some strange
reason ?

ftp server log contains (ip and names changed):
