Within your mounted SMNTS filesystem, create (mkdir) two subdirectories, SMPNTS 
and SMPWKDIR.

*Always* in binary mode:

o FTP PUT each basefile (non-directory) in the downloaded product to the SMPNTS

o Within SMPNTS, create a subdirectory matching each subdirectory in the
  downloaded product.

o For each subdirectory:
  - CD to that subdirectory on the z/OS side.
  - LCD to that subdirectory on the workstation side.
  - MPUT *

Alternatives with fewer commands:

o If you can create a tar archive on the workstation side (cygwin or linux
  will do this; perhaps other utilities):
  - FTP that tar archive to the z/OS side.
  - extract the tar archive on the z/OS side.

o If you can use "jar" on the z/OS side:
  - zip the product on the workstation side.
  - FTP the zip archive to the z/OS side.
  - extract it with jar on the z/OS side.
