FTP OS-dependence, and new FTP RFC

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA256 I have a question: why do we attempt to generate absolute paths and such and CWD to those, instead of just doing the portable string-of-CWDs to get where we need to be? Technically, we can violate the RFCs (specifically, RFC 1738, which defines the
