Trying to use FTP command

[Nyk of 6]

I am attempting to automate the transfer of my pages to the WEB server and
FTP fails to transfer files.
This statement does not get processed !!!
ftp> ftp> put W:MSCD0000.HTM Mscd0000.htm

Yet when I key in each of the above commands interactively the "put"
transfers the file.
Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
Thank you.

Here is the command line to invoke

FTP -s:HTML.FTP host_IP >>FTP.LOG

Here is the contents of HTML . FTP

account_username
account_password
binary
cd D
dir
put W:MSCD0000.HTM Mscd0000.htm
dir
bye

Here is the contents of the FTP . LOG
[---- Top of FTP . LOG ----]

Defy gravity. Don't let yourself get pulled down.

Try LCD to W:, then PUT the file over without the W:

Thank you KC, removing the drive letter got FTP to report that it could not
find the file.

Once I corrected the typo the file transferred with and without the drive
specification.

Again thanks
