ncftpput don't create parent directory

I am trying to upload multiple directories recursively to an FTP server, (and FTP is the only way). Say I have the following environment: Remote: / /remote-files/ /readme.txt Local: /my-website.com/ /my-website.com/dir1/file1.txt /my-website.com/dir2/file2.txt If I issue the following command: ncftpput -R -v -u "root" -p "root" 149.xxx.xxx.xxx / /my-website.com The result would be: / /remote-files/ /readme.txt /my-website.com/ /my-website.com/dir1/file1.txt /my-website.com/dir2/file2.txt What I desired: / /remote-files/ /readme.txt /dir1/file1.txt /dir2/file2.txt I tried: ncftpput -R -v -u "root" -p "root" 149.xxx.xxx.xxx / /my-website.com/ but it makes no difference. How to do it? Or should I use other program? Thank you.
