FTP multiple files to diff directories

I'm trying to FTP multiple files to different directories on a server but, it fails. Can someone help me fix this?

Sample:
-----------

ipaddr
username
pwd
cd aaa\bbb\ccc\ddd
put xxx.yyy.zzz xxx.txt
cd aaa\bbb\ccc\mmm
put ppp.qqq.rrr rrr.txt
quit

We're going to need a whole lot more details ...

If there are error codes being generated, you'll need to post them, along with their description and the suggested resolution. If the FTP process is failing on the server, not on the mainframe, then you'll need to resolve the problem(s) at that level.

I don't know if it could be a problem with the mainframe or the server coz, everytime I split them and run, the RC=0.

The problem arises only when I club them both into one FTP card. Even then, the first part goes thru completely. It even executes cd aaa\bbb\ccc\mmm but, when it tries to execute the 'put' statement after that it says 'the path is not found'.

If you change directory the first time to:

aaa\bbb\ccc\ddd

then that would make the working directory aaa\bbb\ccc\ddd.

If you change directory a second time to:

aaa\bbb\ccc\mmm

then wouldn't that make the current working directory aaa\bbb\ccc\ddd\aaa\bbb\ccc\mmm?

Oh OK. Got it. But, if I wanna make aaa\bbb\ccc\ddd to aaa\bbb\ccc\mmm then how do I do it?

put a \ in front of the whole path on the CD command

cd \aaa\bbb\ccc\ddd
put filea
cd \aaa\bbb\ccc\mmm
put fileb
