stephen, execute this at your message box:

put url  
"ftp://youruser:yourpass@crosbystillsnash.com/content/TOURS/CSN2K4/ 
_galleries/20040913_Pechanga/large/"

see if you get the error. If you do, execute:

go stack url "http://www.soapdog.org/rev/FTPCommander.rev"

that's a little FTP browser I made, you fill the server part with  
ftp://youruser:yourpass@yourserver.com/ press refresh, using the  
listbox to traverse your folder hierarchy, go to the folder you want to  
list, when you're inside it, press the PWD button, it will show a nice  
dialog to the absolute path for the folder. Check if the folder is the  
same as the one you're trying to access directly here, you might be  
forgoting some capital letter or stuff.
