RFC959 does not require or guarantee that the path separator is /, nor
that "CD ../foo" does what you expect.  There are also issues when the
initial CWD is not / (the document part in an FTP URL is relative to
the initial CWD, not absolute)

Libfetch used to do what Nate suggests, and it was changed to the
current behaviour because we encountered servers in the field with
which it didn't work.
