Russell, make sure that you run the Workflow with items selected in the Finder. The error messages are a bit cryptic, sorry for that.
Normally if you use it as a Finder plug-in, and you select one or more files, right click and choose the Workflow from the menu, it should work without giving that error.

I tried using the script, but when it runs, I keep getting this error: “No result was returned from some part of this expression. (-2763)”
I copied the script exactly and changed my ftp parameters. I checked the ftp parameters in Terminal, and they are good.
Any ideas?

A wonderful plugin, Peter. I’ve never used Automator, but realized today that I was forever opening Cyberduck, uploading a series of images to the same directory, and closing it. A quick google yielded this entry on Automator World, and three minutes later, I was saving bundles of time.
Thanks for a great intro to Automator.
