FTP woes

[Das Goravani]

Well now I’ve got a problem.
I created a sub folder in the users directory.
It created it OK.
I can switch to it and get a listing (empty at this point)
But when I try to upload a file to that sub folder it won’t do it.
It says 553 bad file name again.
But it’s the same file I already uploaded to the main folder. 
Just trying to upload it to a subfolder now.
In path I have tried putting the users folder followed by the sub folder. I have tried just putting the sub folder. Nothing works. 

Anyone know why this is, or what I can do to upload to a sub folder?

And when I try to get a listing of files in that sub folder I get only the sub folder name itself, like it is doing a listing of the parent directory

All of this is being done with the Omnis FTP Sample Library.
