What kind of permissions have you put on the directory? Sounds as if you have not set them up correctly, and Yum is unable to change to that directory to read it.

drwxr-xr-x are there for /var/ftp/pub/Server, and root
is owner.
i created yum like this:
cd /var/ftp/pub/Server
createrepo -v /var/ftp/pub/Server
/etc/yum.repos.d
[rhel]
name=My Local Repo
baseurl=ftp://192.168.1.111/pub
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

Dear friends , i solved the yum problem myself,i just created share for /var/ftp/pub and gave rw permissions and createrepo -p /var/ftp/pub, then it worked out well.
