John,

First be aware that the version of WS-FTP you are using is quite outdated
(they are up to version 9). If you don't want to spend the $$ for an
upgrade, SmartFTP is a free FTP utility.

Second, I'm concerned about the reference to an F: drive -- (failed local
chdir to F:\). What is that all about? Are you trying to FTP to a local
system drive? Does the F; drive even exist? Perhaps that's a possibility of
why your FTP is not working.
