Question changing directory on server
hi,
I'm doing to some simple socket programming.
I have a client that connects to the server and request stuff.
For example, if the client type in "ls", that command will be sent to the server and the server will send back the ls information the client requested. Similarly, if the client type "pwd", the server will send back the current working directory (ie, /home/program) to the client. Now if the client type in "cd newfolder" to change directory to a new folder, and since the program is running on the current directory already, it can't change to another directory. How can this be done?
thanks.

SAFE_FINGER(8)						     Linux Programmer's Manual						    SAFE_FINGER(8)

NAME

       safe_finger - finger client wrapper that protects against nasty stuff from finger servers

SYNOPSIS

       safe_finger [finger_options]

DESCRIPTION

       The  safe_finger  command  protects  against nasty stuff from finger servers. Use this program for automatic reverse finger probes from the
       tcp_wrapper (tcpd) , not the raw finger command. The safe_finger command makes sure that the finger client is not run with root privileges.
       It  also  runs  the finger client with a defined PATH environment.  safe_finger will also protect you from problems caused by the output of
       some finger servers. The problem: some programs may react to stuff in the first column. Other programs may get upset by thrash anywhere	on
       a  line.  File  systems may fill up as the finger server keeps sending data. Text editors may bomb out on extremely long lines.	The finger
       server may take forever because it is somehow wedged.  safe_finger takes care of all this badness.
