Mac Name in System Preferences:

This section should become unnecessary with release 2.0

If you get this message you likely have punctuation in your ftp:// path setting...

Dashes ( - )  ,ampersands ( & ) and question marks ( ? ) are usually ok, but most others should be removed.







Most common culprits:

    Apostrophes should be removed:   '    or    `

    Spaces in the computer name should be replaced by dashes ( - )

    Spaces after the computer name should be replaced with  %20


The best way to fix this is by checking the computer name name:

On a mac:

Open System Preferences, Select Sharing.

Note at the top of the screen: Computers on your local network can access your computer at: some-computer-name-here.local

Whats in mediaTransfer should match this name... you do not need to remove the trailing / that MediaTransfer adds
