set up a FTP server and received 550 error

#1 Post by pythonprogram » 2023-11-20 12:56

I am new to all of this. However, I set up the filezilla server. I took down the firewall protections on the computer trying to obtain the file via the hosting computer's server. When I tried to access it I received a 550 couldn't open the file or directory error. Not sure what is going on and I have tried numerous things to troubleshoot the issue.

Some help would be appreciated. Also, when someone receives these types of errors, is it usually the fault of the hosting computer or the computer trying to get access to the file? So, if I tried to grant access to this file to another computer-which isn't in this local network-they may be able to access it? Or, if it doesn't work for a computer in my local network then it will not work at all?

Thank you and I appreciate you and your help

When I try to open the folder on the other computer, it says: "An error occurred opening the folder on the FTP server. Make sure you have permission to access this folder. Details: 550 Couldn't open file or directory."

The client you are using tries to access a directory that does not appear to exist.

Try instructing the client to access a directory that does exist.
