Can't upload web gallery in LR2

Question

I have tried changing all settings per a search of the forum, but I still can't upload a gallery. I receive a "an error occurred sending file: an unknown error occured" this comes after the images and when it starts building the gallery. tried flash and http galleries, same thing. I can save and upload with cute ftp just fine, but not LR.
anyone know a good tutorial on web galleries?

Hello - I don't have a solution, but I wanted to post some observations: Each time I click upload, a folder is created or some files are transferred to the host until all the folders have been created on the remote host. In other words, the FTP transfer continues until a MKD command is sent to the host. After that, LR throws an error and stops.
I even went to the extent of deleting all the files from a working gallery structure on the remote host, leaving the folders intact. One click on "Upload" copied all the files into the structure as desired with no error message.
My analysis is that the return code from the FTP host following a successful MKD command is being misinterpreted my LR as an error.
This stops the FTP transfer, but the folder is OK and in the right place on the host. The next upload command either creates another folder, or copies files to the host. Once the folder structure has been created on the host and the Upload contains only files, it goes OK.
A crummy work-around would be to keep an empty gallery folder structure at the client end, copy that via another FTP host, then have LR fill it up.
