Ftp script to output a directory name

Is there any way to include a directory name before the filename
in the ftp session? Here is the script.
Code:
DIRECTORY=`cat  directory.txt|sed '/^$/d'`

   (
    exec 4>&1
    ftp -n>&4 2>&4|&

    print -p open $host
    print -p user $user $password
    print -p binary
     for D1 in $DIRECTORY; do
         print -p cd "$D1"
         print -p ls echo "$D1,"*  #This doesn't work
     done
     print -p bye
    wait
    )>>"out.txt

directory.txt contains 2 records.
May
June

Once inside the ftp session.
The May directory includes a text file called 5.txt
The June directory includes a text file called 6.txt

How to get results inside out.txt?
May,5.txt
June,6.txt

NAME
service - run a System V init script SYNOPSIS
service SCRIPT COMMAND [OPTIONS] service --status-all service --help | -h | --version DESCRIPTION
service runs a System V init script in as predictable environment as possible, removing most environment variables and with current working directory set to /. The SCRIPT parameter specifies a System V init script, located in /etc/init.d/SCRIPT. The supported values of COMMAND depend on the invoked script, service passes COMMAND and OPTIONS it to the init script unmodified. All scripts should support at least the start and stop commands. As a special case, if COMMAND is --full-restart, the script is run twice, first with the stop command, then with the start command. service --status-all runs all init scripts, in alphabetical order, with the status command. If the init script file does not exist, the script tries to use legacy actions. If there is no suitable legacy action found and COMMAND is one of actions specified in LSB Core Specification, input is redirected to the systemctl. Otherwise the command fails with return code 2. FILES
/etc/init.d The directory containing System V init scripts. ENVIRONMENT
LANG, TERM The only environment variables passed to the init scripts. SEE ALSO
chkconfig(8), ntsysv(8), systemd(1), systemctl(8), systemd.service(5) Jan 2006 service(8)
