If you have never configured FTP options before, it is recommend you carefully check the general instructions at your webhost provider.

XML sitemaps FTP upload

When you configure FTP upload directory path, you need to take into account that most webhosts have files accessible from the outside (i.e. those viewable through a webbrowser) placed in a subdirectory, usually called htdocs, public, html or similar. (If unsure, try find the directory where your index file for the given domain is located. Another solution is to ask your webhost administrator.)

Note: If you are FTP uploading an XML sitemap for an addon domain, your upload directory path will often be similar to e.g. /html/example.com/ or /public/example.com/.

Concerning host, remember that you should not include www in front of your domain name.

I have tried expand on the information a little. If that still does not help, you may need to ask your webhost administrator what the FTP domain website directory is.
