lftp root directory mirroring not working as expexted

I have this line of code:

#!/bin/bash

USER="root"
PASS="sjkndkfjnweif"
SERVER="192.168.1.1"
SOURCE="/var/www/a1/"
TARGET="/volume1/a1/"
LOG="/volume1/homes/admin/backup-a1.log"

lftp sftp://$USER:$PASS@$SERVER -e 'mirror -r '$SOURCE $TARGET'; bye'

Script is called execute.sh and is located in this folder:

/volume1/homes/admin/execute.sh

I need that variable target is backuping in this folder:

/volume1/a1

And my script screates subdirectory in witch this script is run for example:

/volume1/homes/admin/a1/

I need to create folder for backup in

/volume1/a1

I try to add

./volume1/a1/ and ~/volume1/a1 but it every time script is run it creates subdirectory in folder that script it is run.

How to fix this to be working as it should be?

mirror [OPTS] [source [target]]

Mirror specified source directory to local target directory. If the target directory ends with a slash (except the root), the source base name is appended to target directory name. Source and/or target can be URLs pointing to directories.

So remove slash from TARGETfirst:

TARGET="/volume1/a1"

Then you have to specify target base directory: --target-directory

--target-directory=DIR

Your final command line:

lftp sftp://$USER:$PASS@$SERVER -e "mirror -r --target-directory=/ $SOURCE $TARGET"
