You may not be able to do it. From the Tripod website [1]:
# Your file names, and images need to be HTML compliant. That means
no spaces within their names, and no non-alphanumeric characters.
This is a problem because ArX uses filenames and directories with
commas "," to start the name. This will be fixed in the next version
of ArX.
# You can't create subdirectories (folders) from FTP, that needs to
be done from the File Manager within your Tripod account
This is a more serious problem, and I do not know of a simple
workaround. With this restriction, you are basically out of luck. I
don't think any of the distributed systems will work with this
restriction. Sorry.
With all that said, the error messages you got could be much better.
It looks like the gnome-vfs backend is buggy, causing premature
termination. Moving to a different networking backend is part of the
next release, and should improve error handling.
