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
ipescript - Run an Ipe script (written in Lua) SYNOPSIS
ipescript script { arguments } DESCRIPTION
ipescript runs an Ipe script written in Lua. The Ipe bindings are automatically available in the script. Ipescript looks for the script in any of the script directories. The script argument should not contain the .lua extension. ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
ipescript respects the following environment variables: IPELATEXDIR the directory where ipetoipe runs Pdflatex. IPESCRIPTS a list of directories where Ipescript will look for scripts. When this variable is not set, Ipe searches first the current directory, then ~/.ipe/scripts, and finally the system-wide Ipe script directory. When this variable is set, it should contain a list of directories, separated by semicolons. A single under- score is replaced by the system-wide Ipe script directory. IPEDEBUG set this to 1 for debugging output from ipescript. AUTHOR
Otfried Cheong REPORTING BUGS
Please report bugs using Ipe bugzilla at http://ipe7.sourceforge.net/bugzilla.html SEE ALSO
