The ftp protocol will not allow you to execute a remote command, when it is not defined in the remote chroot jail.

In simple terms it means that a correctly-setup remote ftp system has to be set up to specificaly allow whatever commands you request. This is because the user account over there is normally restricted to things like cd, ls, chown, chmod, and mv.

I'm guessing that the directory you want is outside the chroot jail.
