So here's my confusion about this: just because a user has http
hosting doesn't necessarily mean they have ftp hosting or that they
have an ftp account set up. And if they *do* have an ftp account and
already know their username and password, wouldn't they also know the
ftp address? And if they know all that (still with me?) why not just
ask for four pieces of data instead of three?

Agree. And, having looked at the responses here, I agree with Jeff too that trying to figure out a valid FTP path will cause more support headaches than just requiring that the user figure it out.

I don't think I need four pieces of data, only two valid paths. No one seems to have any trouble with the HTTP path, so that leaves just one potential headache.

Not counting the one I developed myself over the weekend, of course...
