FTP woes

[Das Goravani]

NEVER MIND I got it to work.
The trick is to reduce the path to just the last directory on it, in my case.
Apparently it remembers the root directory of the user you pass in, and only needs the folders BEYOND that point in the path field.
And when you PUT a file the path has to include the file name you want it to have, maybe the same name as it has now.
Then it works.
