Re: vxfs: mesg 001: vx_nospace

The root filesystem is full...it should NEVER be used as a destination as the / directory should never grow in size. When you use ftp, always cd to an appropriate directory such as /var/tmp.

Also, it appears that you are transferring a binary file (tar) but the error message suggests that you are using ASCII transfer mode. This will corrupt any binary file. Issue these two ftp commands before using the put command:

binary
cd /var/tmp

It's always useful to type the help command in ftp...there's a lot of useful commands.
