I doubt anyone has much experience with this feature as it is quite new (read: as yet unreleased). I haven't had time to download, much less look at 3.2.0, but the error message looks like something failed to parse correctly, as if the name of the host to connect to was "". Maybe if you could at least post the comments from the default config.pl file regarding XferMethod FTP (or send them to me off-list), then I could try to guess what might be wrong (do you set the target address via ClientNameAlias? What format is it supposed to be in? What is the FtpShareName supposed to look like?). Does the XferLOG give any further hints? Can you increase the XferLogLevel? Since not much is happening, you might get something interesting from there ...
