FTP 550 Access is Denied & Critical File Error

Hello,

I am having trouble uploading/deleting any files through FTP on my site. I am logged in as the main user, and even though I was able to upload an entire site a few days ago, it appears that something is wrong now. I have tried stopping the web site and recycling the app pool, but it does not seem to do anything.

I'm trying to upload a web.config file to the root directory. Here is the FTP log my attempted upload generates:

Response: 230-Welcome to DiscountASP.NET
Response: 230 User logged in.
Command: OPTS UTF8 ON
Response: 550 Access is denied.
Status: Connected
Status: Starting upload of C:\Users\*****\web.config.new
Command: CWD /
Response: 250 CWD command successful.
Command: TYPE I
Response: 200 Type set to I.
Command: PORT 10,5,1,102,50,235
Response: 200 PORT command successful.
Command: STOR web.config.new
Response: 550 Access is denied.
Error: Critical file transfer error

Any ideas of how I can fix this?

 

Thank you!

I will do that now.

Thank you very much for your help, and your very quick reply.

 

hi everyone,

i got the exact same error message as Wessty except i tried to transfer HTML file with my 2nd FTP account.
main FTP account works fine.

i'm using FileZilla v3.5.5.1.
right now, i allocated 100 MB and gave permission READ/WRITE to a specific directory.
no firewall on the PC.
no anti-virus software on the PC.
PC connects directly to modem (no router in between modem and PC).
PC is XP Pro SP3 with all the latest updates from Microsoft as of this posting date.

i created a ticket and Joseph helped with the situation.
he said it works on his.

i'm just wondering....what the heck is going on?
can someone do me a favor and test my 2nd FTP account?
please upload something small there....HTML, TEXT, JPG, etc.
if possible, would like to see FileZilla FTP client for this test.

log-on info:
hostname: ftp.sokha.com
username: kaput
pasword: password


below is my FTP log:

Response: 220-Microsoft FTP Service
Response: 220 DiscountASP.net FTP
Command: USER kaput
Response: 331 Password required for kaput.
Command: PASS ********
Response: 230-Welcome to Discountasp.net
Response: 230 User kaput logged in.
Status: Connected
Status: Starting upload of F:\pinnacle\video.htm
Command: CWD /
Response: 250 CWD command successful.
Command: TYPE A
Response: 200 Type set to A.
Command: PASV
Response: 227 Entering Passive Mode (64,209,142,10,19,215).
Command: STOR video.htm
Response: 550 video.htm: Access is denied.

 

...Try it without Passive mode.

 

directory listing

ok, i think i need to step back 1 step.
might be missing the obvious reason here.

when i connect using the above FTP setting and account, the log said connected successfully.
however, i don't see any file(s) inside the directory and i do have some file(s) in the directory.
all i see is just a /.

sooooo....i'm wondering...eventhough i configured the 2nd FTP account to go to a specific directory, is it possible that it went somewhere else?

 

...I have no idea.
If you use Firefox check the Addons for some cool FTP tools, like FireFTP.
I've tested that on DASP IIS7 accounts and it works great.

 

@wisemx....

note my original post.
i use FileZilla Client v3.5.5.1.

can you do me a small favor?
upload a small file to my server and leave the file there.

 

...Just tried and it does look like something crazy is going on.

My connection keeps cycling through these lines over and over:

220-Microsoft FTP Service
220 DiscountASP.net FTP
USER kaput
331 Password required for kaput.
PASS (password not shown)
230-Welcome to Discountasp.net
230 User kaput logged in.
CWD /
250 CWD command successful.
TYPE I
200 Type set to I.
PORT |2|fe80::241e:2ee6:f5cd:ad3e%10|4496|

 

that's what i'm trying to say.
something is crazy going on.

i can't even view the directory after connected.

i have 4 Apache servers.
none has problem with FTP accounts.
not sure if this is a Windows problem or DASP problem.

hopefully, DASP staff gets this thing resolved.

 

...Is your DASP server IIS7?

 

I just want to say thank you for the information.
It is very valuable for me..newbie here and encountering the same situation.
Thanks and keep up the good work..
