Yeah, "quote" -- as I originally wrote. lftp:/> quote CWD drive2: ---- Resetting cwd ---> CWD drive2: 550 Can't change directory to drive2:: No such file or directory vs. lftp:/> cd drive2: ---> CWD /drive2: <--- 550 Can't change directory to /drive2:: No such file or directory cd: Access failed: 550 Can't change directory to /drive2:: No such file or directory When I use quote, it doesn't add the slash. lftp will try to change the working directory back to what it thinks it should be on the next command after a "quote CWD" change, but I still think there's a chance this might work with your weird server, since by then lftp's attempt to change back to the "/" directory, or wherever it thinks it should be, won't make your server change drives.
