it is not possible to upload a file to ftp via the Laravel 8 form

Question

I have a problem uploading a file in Laravel 8.81.0 on ftp. I have this form in the home.blade.php file:

<form action="{{addFile}}" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
@method('PUT')
@csrf
<p>
<input type="file" name="profile_image" />
</p>
<button type="submit" name="submit">Submit</button>

</form>

I have yes in the controller

if($request->hasFile('profile_image')) {
    //get filename with extension
    $filenamewithextension = $request->file('profile_image')->getClientOriginalName();
    //get filename without extension
    $filename = pathinfo($filenamewithextension, PATHINFO_FILENAME);
    //get file extension
    $extension = $request->file('profile_image')->getClientOriginalExtension();
    //filename to store
    $filenametostore = $filename.'_'.uniqid().'.'.$extension;
    //Upload File to external server
    Storage::disk('ftp')->put($filenametostore, fopen($request->file('profile_image'), 'r+'));
    //Store $filenametostore in the database
}

in the .env file I added

FTP_HOST=xxx 
FTP_USERNAME=xxx
FTP_PASSWORD=xxx

In the filesystems.php file

'disks' => [
    'ftp' => [
        'driver' => 'ftp',
        'host' =>  env(xxx),
        'username' =>  env(xxx),
        'password' =>  env('xxx'),
        'root' => '/public/' // for example: /var/www/html/dev/images
    ],

But anyway after uploading the file I get the error: ValueError Path cannot be empty.

I am using file transfer for the first time, so I would be grateful for a hint of what I am doing wrong I mention that directories are set to allow file writing

'ftp' => [
            'driver' => 'ftp',
            'host' => 'FTP_HOST',
            'username' => 'FTP_USERNAME',
            'password' => 'FTP_PASSWORD',
            'passive' => 'false', 
            'ignorePassiveAddress' => true,
            'port' => 21,
            'root' => 'public_html/storage/app/public/Your_Folder/' // for example: /public_html/images
        ]
//file will save in storage directory you need to link storage for access your files

$path = $file->store('Your Folder','ftp');
