No, the system calls don't expand a tilde. The expansion is done in
ftpcmd.y under the 'pathname' directive using glob(3), but glob(3) won't
expand the tilde when the directory doesn't exist. Lukemftpd works around
this by implementing its own '~' expansion code. Yar has been working on
ftpd recently, you might want to ask him if he has any plans to address
this.
