Ftp file directory

Although, it is rather easy to transfer files, FTP users often get stuck with errors. The 5xx error falls under the permanent negative completion reply status of the FTP server. And, it means that the FTP server did not accept the command and the requested action did not take place.

Further more, x5x error denotes File system errors in FTP server. Overall, the error means the file was not found or there are access restrictions for the file. Recently, one of our customers reported trouble with FTP upload. The logs of his FTP session looked as shown below. Here, the customer was trying to PUT the file home. And that resulted in the error. Similarly, wrong permission on the files or folders can also cause this error.

When the user do not have privileges on the file they are trying to access, it will report the error. Again, we often see FTP errors when users trying to access files in the mounted file systems. For instance, recently a customer complained about the problems accessing files via FTP. In his server, he had a mounted file system.

But, this mount failed after a server reboot. And, when he tried to access a file in this mounted directory, it resulted in the error:. Till now, we saw the various causes for the FTP error. We already know that the underlying reason for the FTP error could be file not residing at the path. We connect to the server via SSH and confirm the presence of the file. If the file is not found on the path, we advise customer on the correct path.

Or, for file name typo issues, we educate customer on the exact file name. Similarly, we check the server mount points and confirm the availability of file system and its contents too.
