The installer just takes whatever path you give it and tries to retrieve the information it needs. There's no other logic than that. It doesn't try to poke around and guess. This situation is why I recommend HTTP as the first protocol to try, since you're guaranteed to get logging of what GET commands are being issued by the installer. If your FTP server isn't providing those, it may be possible to obtain them, but you didn't quite come out and say just what server is in use. But, if you actually use an interactive FTP client from your desktop/laptop, you probably will be able to understand what's going on.
