Ftp Server/Protocol Help

I'm having an issue with an FTP server that i'm developing. The problem i am
having is the the windows explorer ftp client is changing directories
improperly. i did the same activies with another ftp server and the windows
explorer ftp client respond as it should. i've been following the RFC 959.
but maybe i'm not doing something right here.

The problem occurs when the client is downloading multiple directories, it
will list the current directory and keep entering the first directory it
finds in then list that one. until it reaches a point when there are no more
directories to enter, then it will CWD to the directory above and enter the
other directories that it hasn't been to yet, and then it'll just keeping
going down until it can't anymore and work its way throught the directory
structors in that manner. The problem that it does with my ftp server is that
when it first starts the processes it will start going down the directories
first, but once it reaches a point to where it needs to go up a directory to
find the rest of the files it does do a CWD to the folder above it, it will
send a CWD / (the root) twice in a row????

here is a log of whats it does exactly, I have setup 3 folders, titled
folder1, folder2, and subfolder, each of the have a single file in them named
"file in folder <foldernamehere>.txt", (exmple: for the folder1 directory,
the file is called "file in folder1.txt") the sub folder directory is a sub
folder of the folder1. These three folders live in a directory called "Test
Folder" which lives on my desktop. the logs here shows an attempt to download
the "Test Folder".
