Although that does work, Is there a way of doing this without changing the directory beforehand? (apologies for not asking that part of it in the original question) Thanks!

_________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
The package vfs provides not only the means to implement a virtual filesystem at the tcl level, but also a number of ready to be used
filesystems as well.
Each of these filesystem exists as its own package, and can be accessed through package require vfs::NAME. The whole set of these virtual
filesystems is known informally as 'vfslib'.
SUPPORTED VFS TYPES
Currently supported are ftp, tar, http, zip, mk4, ns, and webdav. In addition there is the ability to mount any 'urltype' as a new direc-
tory, provided an appropriate vfs is supported. This means that you can treat urls based on the schemes ftp://, http:// and file:// as
files. To do this, simply evaluate the command vfs::urltype::Mount ftp for example. Any access inside the new volume will result in an
attempt to require a package through package require vfs::${type}, which must therefore exist, or errors will be thrown. If a filesystem
is loaded, use the associated command listed below to mount a source for that filesystem as a tcl directory.
vfs::zip::Mount path to
Mount the zip file path as directory to.
vfs::mk4::Mount path to
Mount the metakit database file file path as directory to.
vfs::tar::Mount path to
Mount the tar file path as directory to.
vfs::ftp::Mount path to
Mount the ftp url path as directory to.
vfs::ns::Mount path to
Mount the tcl namespace path as directory to.
vfs::webdav::Mount path to
Mount the webdav url path as directory to.
vfs::http::Mount path to
Mount the http url path as directory to.
vfs::urltype::Mount path to
Mount the url path, of type urltype as directory to.
LIMITATIONS
Most of the vfs types listed above have not been very well debugged as yet. Please test them!
