You are giving it the full path by specifying ~/

I you do a CD ~/Desktop

first, followed by the SEND, then no problem.

I don't believe the RFC calls for path removal. I think SEND just
takes a "file name" and says nothing about presence or manipulation
of path.

IMHO, it should have sent "~/Desktop/" as the path, not the resolved
path. But I don't think the RFC says.

No, it's your fault for not providing the name you wanted on the other
end. :-)

FTP used the name you provided and VMS did it's best to intrepret it, the
result not being what you wanted.

SEND ~/Desktop/VT500_parser.png parser.png

What's the difference between SEND and PUT?

send local-file [remote-file]
A synonym for put.

I used SEND in my example because he used SEND in his question.
I have never used send myself, always put.
