    This is a twisted sneaky little thing slipped in by the devil himself.

    What is wants you to do is, keep the folder created but call the root of the folder and not the full path.

    So create folder 

    ftpserver
    in let's say C drive but in filezilla only mention 
    C:/
    . And it will send the filename with the 
    /ftpserver
    itself.
