No, I was aware of that issue and made sure my URL had that trailing
slash. Actually, playing a bit more with this I found out that whenever
uploading files, curl just takes the base name of the file and the
--ftp-create-dirs refers to the destination URL (the remote site). So
with I painfully arrived at the final code which now works:

---<---------------cut here---------------start-------------->---
UPLOADFILES=$(find -L ${WD} -name 'source' -prune -o ! -name '*~' \
    -type f -printf "-T %P ${URL}%P ")

cd "${WD}"
curl -v --disable-epsv --ftp-create-dirs -u ${USERPASSWD} ${UPLOADFILES}
---<---------------cut here---------------end---------------->---

...pfew!

I was considering that before digging into curl, but realized that would
take me longer to learn. It's in my todo now though! ;-)
