mtfm has an issue tracker but never mind (my branch at least is waiting for
me to locate some quality spare time to wrap things up again).
My hunch (without verifying) is that you're hit by this issue due to the
url where mtfm is uploading /to/ (the index.php file which would include
the mtfm backend php code) is htaccess password protected this way; you
want to go and sniff the HTTP traffic using the development tools in your
browser (though sniffing traffic from Flash components can be a pain in the
xxx, unless you resort to tougher measures like using the WireShark network
protocol sniffer (which will do HTTP 'decoding' of those TCP packets
travelling across the line for you, so it's relatively easy to pick up as a
tool).

I most often 'debug'/'diagnose' this sort of thing by sniffing the traffic
and [if necessary/helpful to cut down on the problem complexity] replaying
it in rudimentary form by hand using the browser when the going gets a
tough and the suspect is somewhere between browser and backend user code.
