===How do I save my calendar file on an FTP server?===
It's tricky at first to figure it out but this is the way to proceed:
For already existing data use "Publish" and enter the address (ftp://user@domain/filename.ics)


# Create a local calendar.
For new calendars you can choose "Create new calendar" | "On the network"
# Add an event and exit calendar.
Filetype: iCalendar
# Copy the new calendar file to the FTP server (under another name if you wish).
Address: ftp://user@domain/filename.ics
# Return to calendar and fill in the "remote server URL" field of the new calendar. (ftp://user:pass@domain/filename)


That's all! It should work now!
Note that the calendar file will only be created if an event/task is added to this calendar.
 
The trick is that at least one event have to exist in your new calendar, otherwise, the file is empty and seen as "invalid".

For Lightning 0.3, it's a bit more complex.
 
# Create a local calendar.
# Add an event.
# Export the calendar as .ics
# Exit calendar.
# Copy the new calendar file to the FTP server (under another name if you wish).
# Open calendar
# Choose 'New...' under the calendars tab.
# Choose 'On the network'
# Type is 'ics'
# Location is the ftp url for the file (ftp://user:pass@domain/filename)
