While trying to do ftp to /dev/null of remote server, it fails with the below error. Any suggestions what could be going wrong. The same thing to a different server works. So I am assuming some config on the server that needs to be changed. Compared the config from both machines and they look the same. Not able to figure out if any other dependency for this to work. As shown below normal PUT works bur PUT to /dev/null fails.

@smallpond: If I point to a different server with ftp put to /dev/null it works, and I have seen quite a few examples on web where people use ftp to /dev/null and I have been using it quite often. Unable to get it to work with this server.
