During an FTP session, you can display or change the current
default directory either on the remote host or on your local
host.
To display the default (working) directory on the remote host,
use the SHOW DEFAULT command, as in the following example:
FTP> SHOW DEFAULT
257 "/usr/users" is the current directory.
To display the working directory on the local host, use the SHOW
DEFAULT command with the /LOCAL qualifier, as in the following
example:
FTP> SHOW DEFAULT/LOCAL
Local directory is DISK$6:[MANAGER].
To change the default directory on the remote host, use the SET
DEFAULT command. The following example shows how to change the
default directory on a remote UNIX host to /usr/users/robert:
FTP> SET DEFAULT "/usr/users/robert"
250 CWD command successful.
or
FTP> SET DEFAULT "~robert"
To change back to your login default directory, specify a tilde
(~) alone, as follows:
FTP> SET DEFAULT ~
250 CWD command successful.
FTP> pwd
257 "/usr/users/robert" is current directory.
