I think you'll want to use send_user instead of send for the "hmmm" message. ftp won't understand what to do with that command.

Code:
expect {
  "No such file or directory" 
    {send_user "hmmm\r" 
      send mkdir whatever_dir 
      send cd whatever_dir }
  "250 CWD command successful"
}
send put whatever_file

Not an expect expert, but I don't think you need anything after the final "250..." line as it will get what it expects, and moves on. Not sure if this is exact or the most efficient, but it should be close.

term_send

term::send(n)							 Terminal control						     term::send(n)

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

NAME

       term::send - General output to terminals

SYNOPSIS

       package require Tcl  8.4

       package require term::send  ?0.1?

       ::term::send::wrch chan str

       ::term::send::wr str

_________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION

       This  package provides the most primitive commands for sending characters to a terminal. They are in essence convenient wrappers around the
       builtin command puts.

       ::term::send::wrch chan str
	      Send the text str to the channel specified by the handle chan.  In contrast to the builtin command puts this command does not termi-
	      nate  the  string  with a line terminator. It also forces an  flush of Tcl internal and OS buffers to ensure that the characters are
	      processed immediately.

       ::term::send::wr str
	      This convenience command is like ::term::send::wrch, except that the destination channel is fixed to stdout.

BUGS, IDEAS, FEEDBACK
       This document, and the package it describes, will undoubtedly contain bugs and other problems.  Please report such in the category term	of
       the  Tcllib  SF	Trackers [http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=12883].  Please also report any ideas for enhancements you may have for
       either package and/or documentation.
