Telnet was the scope of the original question.  With FTP, the user can't cd 
down past his own root.

He shouldn't need a complete path.  If his cgi-bin is a subdirectory of his 
web directory the path should simply be: "cgi-bin/filename".  If it's a 
subdirectory of "web"'s parent (example:
  site21
    cgi-bin
    web

), then this should suffice: "../dirname/cgi-bin/filename".

Hope this helps.
