Troubles with wput-0.4w32

Dear Hagen
 
i've got troubles get wput running. are you able to help with the following problems? i'm uploading files from a network/local path to a external ftp server. firewall only allows passive transfer.
 
Problems:
1. it is not possible to specify full paths for uploading. for e.g. "wput I:\dir1\css ftp://user1:password1@server1.server.de/html/css/";. this result on the ftp server as ftp://user1:password1@server1.server.de/html/css/I:/dir/css and is wrong as you see... switching with cd to all dirs required for upload is very error prone...
 
2. i'd ike to use --timestamping. from my understanding the file on the target ftp server will have the local file time set after transfer. isn't it? if i'm using this option i'm unable to transfer anything wput stops at:
 
I:>P:\Utilities\FTP\wput\wput -v --timestamping pc_ie.css ftp://user1:password1@server1.sserver.de/html/css/
--22:04:57-- `pc_ie.css'
    => ftp://user1:xxxxx@1.1.1.1/html/css/pc_ie.css
Connecting to 1.1.1.1:21...  connected!
Logging in as user1 ... Logged in!
==> CWD /html/css/ done.
==> PASV done.
==> TYPE A ... done
==> LIST ... done.

maybe wput is using active in this situation and is blocked by firewall!? i don't understand the command option --port-mode and the syntax for forcing it to passive mode.
