Is there a correct syntax to sucessfully get files to a specific ftp remote folder?

I can use the ftp send to feature of mc11 but files always go to the root of my site.  No matter what I type in the path field before uploading they will not get directly to the correct folder.  I've tried forward and back slashes but files always end up on the root of the remote ftp.

e.g.
pub\harp\rjtvocal\
OR
pub/harp/rjtvocal/
OR
ftp://mysite.com/pub/harp/rjtvocal

Try using something like this.

Address:
ftp.yourdomain.com/pub/

Path:
harp\rjtvocal

In that example, the directory harp needs to exist.  rjtvocal will get created.  But only one directory will get created.

The path requires the forward slash syntax too.  Otherwise on my remote host (unix btw) harp\rjtvocal is the folder name actually created.

The key is the Address must have a forward slash at the end of it and the Path cannot have a forwardslash in front of it.  After that you can slide the path subfolder levels to either the Address or the Path.  No other combination without that forwardslash placement works.

e.g.:

Address:
ftp.yourdomain.com/pub/
Path:
harp/rjtvocal

OR

Address:
ftp.yourdomain.com/pub/harp/
Path:
rjtvocal
