   Because glob() returns full path, so you end up running commands like
ftp.storbinary("STOR " + 'd:\\programsPython\\CE H2-102000 Usage Mentor1.txt'...
(please note double backslashes)
   If you want just filenames without path you can do one of two things:

1) cd d:\programsPython (os.chdir("d:\\programsPython")) and then use
glob('*') - this will list just the curent directory

2) or cut off the file/path yourself:

for filename in glob.glob('d:\programsPython\*'):
   name = string.split(filename, '\\')[-1]
   ftp.storbinary("STOR " + name, open(filename, 'rb'))

   Why do you think those funny files are not real files? It is just UNIX
didn't interpreted backslashes! :) I am sure they are your real files! Test
it.
