HTML email submit form

Having a problem with an email form. When clicking submit doesn't recognize page. Am I missing something really obvious? I've replaced 'your email address' for a valid email address in VALUE.

Here is the code:

<form method="post" action="http://www.ftp://www.users.greenbee.net//cgi-bin/FormMail.pl" name="MyForm">

<input type="hidden" name="recipient" value="YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS" />
<input type="hidden" name="sort" value="order:FirstName,Surname,emailaddress,Comments" />

<center>

<table border="0" width="64%" bgcolor="#c0c0c0">
<tr>
  <td width="41%" align="center"><strong>First Name</strong></td>
  <td width="59%" align="center"><input type="text" name="FirstName" size="24" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
  <td width="41%" align="center"><strong>Surname</strong></td>
  <td width="59%" align="center"><input type="text" name="Surname" size="24" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
  <td width="41%" align="center"><strong>E-mail Address</strong></td>
  <td width="59%" align="center"><input type="text" name="emailaddress" size="24" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
  <td width="41%" align="center"><strong>Comments on my webpage</strong></td>
  <td width="59%" align="center"><textarea rows="3" cols="24" name="Comments"></textarea></td>
</tr>
<tr>
  <td width="41%" align="center"><input type="submit" value="Send Form" name="SendForm" /></td>
  <td width="59%" align="center"><input type="reset" value="Clear Form" name="ClearForm" /></td>
</tr>
</table>

</center>

</form>

There’s a relatively new service called Slapform that allows you to send yourself form submissions via email. All you have to do is set the form’s method to POST and point the form’s action to https://api.slapform.com/[email protected]. It’s very simple and easy to use: 

<form method="POST"
  action="https://api.slapform.com/[email protected]">
  <input type="email" name="email">
  <textarea type="text" name="message"></textarea>
  <button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>

The form action is all messed up.

It should be either http:// or ftp:// you can't combine both.

From quick trial and error, this one "works" though requires authentication:
ftp://www.users.greenbee.net/cgi-bin/FormMail.pl
