batch file to ftp code not running - please help!

[WhytheQ]

Hello All,
I've got the following code.
If I run this code from a file, and aimed at a file saved locally on
my pc, then it works fine and the file gets saved to the ftp site.
If I try running the below from a network drive I get an error 5:
"Invalid procedure call or argument"

Why is the move to the network drive causing these problems?

Any help much appreciated,
Jason.
