/var/hack folder?

[thomson]

I don't seem to have a "/var/hack" folder.

You will probably find that /var/hack is a symbolic link to /hack on your system (this is similar to a shortcut under Windows). The FTP server might not navigate symbolic links so just place the files under /hack as on your system both /var/hack and /hack point to the same place. Hope this helps (and is not too confusing - as symbolic links under Unix are actually very handy!).
