This can be done via :winrun command or two argument form of :cd alone. Example:
# terminal #1
vifm --server-name test
# terminal #2
vifm --server-name test --remote +'winrun , cd /etc'
vifm --server-name test --remote +'cd . /etc'
Using :cd is simpler, but it will exit tree and custom views, so :winrun is preferable in general case, but :cd is more convenient for one off cases.
