magento ftp connect installation-path

When I am configuring the settings for Magento Connect I get the following error:

    Deployment FTP Error. Local file doesn't exist:
    Settings has not been loaded. Used default settings
    Config file does not exists please save Settings

The details I use are:

ftp.mysite.com.au
myftpusername
myftppassword
install path: public/www/shop (advise by web host to use this)

Magento sits in a folder called /shop

Any help. I have looked on this site and the Magento forums and have not found a solution.

Set the chmod of the "downloader" directory temporary to 777 (and revert it back afterwards), so that magento-connect can write the connect.cfg file.
