Import from zip with FTP storage

This.. May not REALLY be a bug.. But.. At best, It's confusing..

Remote storage: path to downloads    
Relative to the home directory for the FTP user

Example: ../private_files/downloads

Ok.. So, we set that as ./downloads

Everything on the front end of the forum worked great.. No problems.. Happy as can be.

BUT.. user went to import from a ZIP file, and it failed.

Warning: ftp_chdir() [function.ftp-chdir]: Can't change directory to //./downloads/./downloads: No such file or directory in /public_html/ips_kernel/classFtp.php on line 122

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'CHDIR_FAILED' in /public_html/ips_kernel/classFtp.php:131 Stack trace: #0/public_html/admin/applications_addon/ips/downloads/modules_admin/tools/bulkimport.php(868): classFtp->chdir('./downloads') #1 /public_html/admin/applications_addon/ips/downloads/modules_admin/tools/bulkimport.php(440): admin_downloads_tools_bulkimport->_processFiles(Array, Array, Array) #2/public_html/admin/applications_addon/ips/downloads/modules_admin/tools/bulkimport.php(119): admin_downloads_tools_bulkimport->zipIndexAdd() #3 /public_html/admin/sources/base/ipsController.php(302): admin_downloads_tools_bulkimport->doExecute(Object(ipsRegistry)) #4 /public_html/admin/sources/base/ipsController.php(120): ipsCommand->execute(Object(ipsRegistry)) #5 /public_html/admin/sources/base/ipsController.php(65): ipsController->handleRequest() #6 /public_html/admin/index.php(26): ipsControl in /home/aikencen/public_html/ips_kernel/classFtp.php on line 131

Removing the suppression in classFtp.php got me the first error there. So.. Basically.. It seems that in the ACP.. It's none too happy with having ./downloads as the path.. Changed it to just /downloads, and it works fine..

But.. What happens if the path is ../downloads? that's where the main concern is.. No big deal if it's ./downloads and we can use /downloads and have it work.. But if ../ doesn't work.. That's a problem.
