  It's not particularly good design to call constructors explicitly.
  For one thing the destructors for any non-trivial data members of
  your class will not be called before the memory is reinitialised the
  with a constructor call.

  A recursive constructor like this is asking for dreadful trouble.

  Make this function an ordinary member function.

  Then use new char[] and strcat() to tack fileBlock.ff_name onto the
  end of pathName every time that you recurse.  (-:
