For FTP, the codes mean 5.. Permanent Error, .5. File System, 550 Requested
action not taken: resource unavailable.

Also for FTP, if a CWD full/.../path fails, for compatibility the client(/user)
has to fall back to issue a series of simple commands CWD full, CWD ..., CWD
path to get to the same place, and only if one of those fails, complain about
the path.
