FPT error

Anthony khan — Fri, 08 Feb 2002 20:12:59 GMT

Hi Forum,

I have created a ftp id for our client, they can get the file from my box but when they trying to put the file they get an error

ftp> put c:\sb1.bat
200 PORT command successful
550 This command is not allowed when PUT operations are not permitted.

I ask them to use just put and filename but they are getting the same error. Can someone help me out in this.

Thanxs

It sounds like a permissions problem. The id that they are logging in with probably does not have write access to the directory or, if the file already exists, they may not have access to overwrite the file.

Check the directory permissions and the file permissions and make sure the id has the appropriate access.

what steps did you take to create the id, and what are the permissions on the entire directory path where they are trying to put the file? Oh, and what version HP?

Hi Anthony,

don't use the c:\,

Just try,

ftp> put sb1.bat

you should be in the directory where sb1.bat file exist on the local system.

Hope this helps.

Hi Anthony:

Do you have an 'etc/ftpd/ftpaccess' with overwrite controls or uploads? See 'man 4 ftpaccess' for more details. This would assume an 11.x server or a 10.x server on which 'wu-ftpd' had been loaded.

Regards!

When they try to put a file, does the file already exist on the Sun box?

If so, what are its permissions? Does the id they are using have permission to write that file?

If they are getting a 550 error, that is permissions. Either on the directory, the file itself. Check the permissions and the ownership. Also run fuser against the file to see if the process that has created it has let go, otherwise you cannot overwrite it.

Hi Patrick,
No there's no file in that directory, the dir is own by ftpuser
