Description

If I run a cd command, the directory does not change

var cmd = client.RunCommand($"cd /etc/");
if (cmd.ExitStatus == 0){
    cmd = client.RunCommand($"pwd");
    if (cmd.ExitStatus == 0){
        console.WriteLine(cmd.result.);
    }
    } else {
        // ...
} else {
    // ...
}

The console just prints the starting directory in the example above!
