Ftp put question

Question

I am trying to do a put using:
put /Users/jeffrrey/Pictures/test.pjpg
But I get back no such file or directory.
I can overcome this by doing an lcd /Users/jeffrrey/Pictures/
and then put test.jpg
But this is really cumbersome. Is there a way to just do the put and specify the directory with the put or does it always have to be done this way?

ftp> put /Users/me/testsh testsh
