Failed to open local while uploading files

#1 Post by ev000480 » 2023-05-26 03:08

Hello, I am new to here.

There is an issue which has been met while uploading a file to a host.
The error message is "open for write: received failure with description 'Failed to open local file' ".
Has anyone met the same issue?
If there is anyone who knows how to tackle this issue, please kindly sharing the solution.

Much appreciation.
Tokumasa.

Your post is confusing. Uploading files to a host would mean the files are only read at the local side. But the error description tells the file cannot be opened for writing, which would mean you are downloading from a host.

Please elaborate.

Sorry for the confusing elaboration.
What I mean is that I used filezilla to upload files via SFTP protocol to a 203.**.**.** host.
And there are several files which were failed to be uploaded. The error message is as my post above.
Hoping that my elaboration is clear for you.

Ah, so that error message is received from the server. Well, in that case, the problem lies with the server host, as it seems to have problems with its filesystem. You need to contact the server owner for assistance, as we cannot solve this, obviously.

Possible problems:
- The server's filesystem is corrupt.
- The server's storage is full.

I got it.
I will try to upload again to see whether the issue still exists or not.

Your recommendations are appreciated.
