Hi Dan, Thank you for the information regarding CURLOPT_FTP_FILEMETHOD. We weren't setting it in the code and thus were using CURLFTPMETHOD_MULTICWD by default. With CURLFTPMETHOD_SINGLECWD, we can see that the requested folder is being accessed directly without making individual CWD commands along the folder tree. Thanks, Nimit

I'm not seeing any CWD / with a plain "curl -v ftp://site/some/path"; call using the current git code. Perhaps this has something to do with other options your code is setting. Try setting CURLOPT_FTP_FILEMETHOD to CURLFTPMETHOD_SINGLECWD or even CURLFTPMETHOD_NOCWD and see if that helps.
