Error 553

[theczar]

Hey, I'm trying to put a picture on a website that allows ftp transfer, but I keep getting error 553. I've searched around here and found that this error can mean a number of different things. As such, I figured it would be best if I posted this topic and uploaded my log.

Response: 550 Sorry, anonymous users are not allowed to create directories

That's your problem. You try to upload the image to the /pub/image directory, but this directory neither exists nor can be created by an anonymous FTP user. The simplest solution would be to pre-create this directory with a privileged account.

i know that there aren't any passwords on the account, so how would i go in as an admin...
