Sometimes SMF cannot detect the proper path for the FTP information. Keep trying the FTP setup with a different path. To do this in SMF, go to: "Admin > Configuration > Server Settings > SMF Directory".
Your paths will be something like:
- ./
- ./directory-of-smf
- /home/your-username/www/directory-of-smf(this is the full path and usually uses your username)
