I don't know the structrue of your FTP server, but I'm almost sure that the correct syntax will be:
/renttoown-mn/

In the FTP protocol two ports are normally used, 20 and 21. Port 21 is the control channel in which requests such as PUT, GET, and PWD are sent to the server. Port 20 is the data channel in which actual files, folders and directory listings are sent.
Normally, when you connect to an FTP site, the site establishes the data connection to your PC (the client) on Port 20. However, if the site allows passive transfers, you can have your PC establish the data connection.
So, if you're unable to upload your pages using active mode, you should try to switch to the passive one.
You can find a very well written article, which will cover the basics of "Passive vs Active" mode functions here.

I have already tried /renttoown-mn/ next I will try passive.
The problem might be that I have run out of diskspce 
Using the Opera browser I can access the ftp domain, but I can't usnig IE.
