I think I'm not understanding this. If you're not allowed to cwd to /abc, then
what is libcurl supposed to do?

The "common" problem with changing directories over FTP is when the client
isn't allowed to cwd to /abc but the server thinks it is ok to cwd to /abc/def
directly and that's one reason why the CURLOPT_FTP_FILEMETHOD option exists.

If you have a client that manages to do the operation you want, then figure
out what it does and then look into how to make libcurl do it like that.
