Comment (by SirLouen):

 Finally, I've been able to do a full core update with the environment
 proposed.

 I've located further issues in this function, I've repaired:
 1. It was not accounting for `.invisible` files, so I needed to add the
 `-a` to the command
 2. There is an ultra-tricky scenario, that might only happen in special
 file systems like FTP: when you point straight to root `/`, this is
 impossible that happens in other scenarios like `direct` because no one is
 going to mount their WP in their root directory for massive security
 concerns.

 With this, I think that the function is completely ready for production,
 pinging Filesystem maintainer @costdev

 I'm still wondering how people have been able to update core with
 `ftpext`, maybe some ftp servers are very permissive with functions or
 something?
