Here is an example of a batchftp automated FTP command file which
shows some of the commands including a change of a SIMTEL20
directory.  First the binary (in this case =tenex) mode is set, then
I change my local directory to where I wanted the download to go. 
Next I change the SIMTEL20 directory, and then get the file I want. 

{
binary
lcd /home2/econ/ts/valitys2
cd pd1:<msdos.telix>
get tfe_221.zip
}
