sounds like a permision problem either on the server or local machine. Are you logging on to the ftp server as another user?

A firewall might also give you the same error.

Where exactly is the error generated on the local or remote machine?

you may have root access on the unix box but when you start the ftp session is it as root or non-root because it looks like you have permission problems with /public_html. Another problem might be that the ftp server on the unix side may be set up to let only certain users access the /public_html area and it doesn't care whether your root or not

FTP code 553 suggests your filename has illegal characters in it, something that's not acceptable to your remote server's configuration, perhaps.

Although your filename a_logo2.gif seems like it should be okay, have you tried renaming it, say without the underscore or number, to see if it uploads? What other file names have you tried uploading?

What flavour unix is the ftp server box?
In /etc there may be files of the form ftp_accept or ftp_deny or ftp_something check those out and see whats in them.
Other wise try linux-goot's suggestion and change the filename , the other possibility is that the STOR command is trying to create Windows paths on the Unix box perhaps try cd to the home directory of a_logo2.gif and ftp from there.
Another idea might be to use the ftp comman PUT and see if that works

thanks you

Thank you ,Dommy .Its working now .
Its to do with Directory Ownership .I created public_html as Root .
So as a user i had no permission to it .I created a new directory
and copied contents of public_html there .

Glad to help.

An alternative would be to change the permissions on public_html to allow any one to access it , something like chmod +777 public_html should give rwx access to everyone
