When trying to save server settings I get error message 'FTP server settings cannot be saved, check URL and parameters'. I have tried various server details which i can connect to from my PC including local servers with the form 192.168.0.210 I'm using HTC Desire

Is your hostname is something like yourftpserver.com or IP address such as 192.168.101.1?

If your try to create a new FTP setting without filling in any field and just click save. Does it work?

Which version of AndFTP are you using?

I'm having the same problem. I know for fact that the IP address is correct, because I can connect to my computer with an SSH client from the phone. AndFTP is willing to store a server name but not the plain IP address, which is weird. I can't use the server name because this is my home network and I don't run any DNS service. Is this one of those things that only work with the non-free version?

Well that's interesting. Rebooting the phone made the app willing to save the parameters. Weird.
