Is /testForm/ the directory where you have formtools installed? If that's where you installed it, you can't move any of its folders around. Just make sure that when you're creating a new form, that you're following all of the step-by-step instructions carefully. If your form is external, there's a step that displays the html code for <form action="domain/ftpath/process.php" method="post"> and that would need to be copied into your form.
If you've installed formtools correctly and followed the instructions, you shouldn't have any problems creating a new form. Read through the documentation on this website for further info.
Also, the security settings on some servers may not allow a form submission to come from another domain not hosted on that server. Make sure your external form is on the same server and preferrably, under the same domain name as your FT installation. You can place your form under a different directory such as http://www.hostdbc.com/myform/form.html and whatever form code is generated by formtools, it'll work regardless where your form is placed.
