Ok.

This is already perfectly well supported by libcurl! Just use a URL with a
different directory than /. Try
"ftp://localhost/very/long/path/to/my/weird/dir/and/show/it/please/".

Can you explain a better way to do it?

I don't think so. Because then if you do a CWD in the quoted commands, the
transfer is destined to fail. Now, you can CWD and do whatever you want, and
then curl will just jump to the correct directory and do the transfer.
