If you cd to a bad or unavailable directory, ftp generates an error.
Older versions of ftp clients don't need to "show pwd" when they connect.
So, I must be getting too old, but I fail see why you can't use a version that does not care about pwd, unless you are trying to get files whose names and locations you don't know. Your code should not care about pwd.
And, if the system in question is an IT sox box, why don't you run rsync under ssh? If the box is the mastewr, there is no violation. You connect, rsync moves/updates all of the files/directories. You don't need to know anything on your side.
