File transfer failed.

#1 Post by PaulGureghian1 » 2022-08-12 01:49

I connected to the remote host, right click on file, upload, and transfer fails.
Do I need to check port 21 ?

You (or better, the account the FTP server is running under) don't have permission to write to the target directory. You need to adjust the permissions on the server.

For some reason, the user account the FTP server software runs under on the server machine, does not have any permissions to write to the directory you selected. Please control both the permissions set in the FTP server software (FileZilla Server?) and the directory permissions in the OS.

All I know to do is adjust the rwx permissions on the target dir.
What else do I need to do ?

Based on the log it may also be the server itself that is denying permission.

That's why I also wrote:

I don't know if it was actual permissions on the server, but I fixed it by installing ssh server and allowing traffic through 22/tcp on the firewall.
