Hi,

I have a script that builds a shell script for FTP via CURL.

The script works just fine when run on my machine and several other local
macs, but when installed on some remote macs the script fails.

On these remote macs the unix admins tell me that curl also fails in
terminal, but if they change the local directory first then run curl it
works.

So I have two questions: Can I emulate changing the local directory and
execute the CURL command in the same shell

and 

Why is this happening?

The meat of the script is below

Thanks
