To me, and to the ftp:// URLs I use all of the time, the trailing
slash after "path" in your URL indicates that path is a directory.

Actually I would think that the transmission should fail if a
directory path does not exist. HTTP might default to creating the
directory.

And, at least in UNIX, a file name simply cannot end in a slash. Is
the host a UNIX server? If not you might try some quotes or a URL
encoded solidus.
