This will work well if the very/long/path/to/my/weird/dir/and/show/it/please/ is
in the HOME directory.
If this directory is under the root directory
very/long/path/to/my/weird/dir/and/show/it/please/, how can I retrieve its
contents?
Think of a {FTP_HOME}/tmp directory and the /tmp directory. How can retrive the
listing of the /tmp directory?
Your approach will retrieve the listing of the {FTP_HOME}/tmp directory.
