Getting the initial remote path (General questions)

by ManhMike, Friday, September 09, 2005, 17:15 (7014 days ago)

I have an interesting dilemma and have yet to find a solution.

When I connect to a remote server, I am dropped in a home directory which is several levels deep, i.e. /aaa/bbb/ccc/ddd

However, when I connect to the server, the control treats /aaa/bbb/ccc/ddd as the ftp root, i.e. /

I need to specify relative paths in the in the get and put operations, so I can upload and download to paths BELOW the ftp root.

Obviously, relative paths aren't allowed. I could easily extrapolate where the user needs to be and feed the control the appropriate absolute paths, however I can't find a way to determine my ACTUAL location upon connection.

Is this even possible? If so, could someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

Thank you very much for the rapid responses. I was a little nervous about dealing with a company that is on a different continent from me. You have proven my concerns to be unfounded.
