OK, a little more testing and research done. I looked up the oooforum site for ftp errors and found this workaround that seems to work:

Tools -> Options -> OpenOffice.org -> General.
Under Open/Save dialogs, check the Use OpenOffice.org dialogs.
Now when saving a document, for the filename, you can type a URL

The only thing is, mounted drives/shares are not shown in that generic save window. I must type in `ftp://localhost`and then it works fine.

Sebastien, any idea why this runs into a problem when using the gnome save window?
