Not able to create file in ftp serevr(vsftpd)
 

Hi,

I have set up up vsftpd server and trying to write a file into ftp server using java ftp client code. But I see some error while writing the file

FtpBean: Send command "STOR testfile.out"
line respone=553 Could not create file.
FtpBean: Released by thread.
failed to read/write into ftp serverftp.FtpException: 553 Could not create file.
ftp.FtpException: 553 Could not create file.

at ftp.FtpBean.putBinaryFile(FtpBean.java:833)
at ftp.FtpBean.putBinaryFile(FtpBean.java:812)
at FtpExample.main(FtpExample.java:148)

I saw the error code 553 in document which says illegal file name. I am able to retrieve the file and put file using ftp, but not through programming API.

Please let me know what could be issue.

Can you post your source here?

*
* Note that this class implements the FtpObserver interface, which
* make this class have the ability to monitor the downloading or
* uploading progress. If you don't need to monitor it, then you
