You are aware that Python (and therefore Zope) is case sensitive
and that the method is named "PUT_factory" (not "put_factory")?

I remember that there has been (a very long time ago) a problem
with FTP and ZClasses. I am not sure whether this problem is
fixed in the meantime.

I would expect that the "PUT_factory" mechanism works at
least when the container (for your new object) is not a ZClass instance
(nor contained in one).
Note that the "PUT_factory" is looked up in the container
and not the object to be created.
