Oh I see... no.. haven't tried another host or file... as I haven't another host to try it on
=====================
Okay... I figured it out.
The hosting company is properly "chowning" me to a directory - so when i log in using ftp program it automatically changes my directory to my own directory.
For some reason, when I log in using OOTP, the chown does not work. So when I am trying to export to "/" I guess I'm trying to export to the root of the host (!)
I had to put the full messy directory in that variable (/home/httpd/www.newhost.com-80/html/username/). Adding that allowed the test connection to work, and I was able to once again export to FTP.
I find it very odd that OOTP's ftp connection is not "chowned" like all other FTP connections. I'm sure my host is wondering why I'm trying to upload to their root directory!
