My understanting of RFC 959 is that the client undoes escaping
and the server deals with raw pathnames:
<string> ::= <char> | <char><string>
<char> ::= any of the 128 ASCII characters except <CR> and <LF>
<pathname> ::= <string>
5.3.1. FTP COMMANDS
CWD <SP> <pathname> <CRLF>
An example with an embedded double quote:
MKD foo"bar
257 "/usr/dm/foo""bar" directory created
CWD /usr/dm/foo"bar
200 directory changed to /usr/dm/foo"bar
Did we ever see a verbose trace that showed the generated CWD command?
