execute script on remote using curl

I uploaded a file script.cmd to a Windows FTP server via curl.

No I'd like to execute this script on the remote server via curl. When I just do this:

curl <FTPURL> -Q 'call ./path/to/my/script.cmd'

then I get a 500 Command not understood.

What's the correct way to do this?

You can not run a command/script via ftp (at least not that I've ever seen). If you have a web server on the same box or you use curl to call the script via http(s) or you can write a script that ssh's into the box and executes the command, see Ssh and run command upon connection in another question for help.
