Cannot Upload files to xampp ftp Server

12 years ago • updated 12 years ago • 4

Hi.
I am using and liking the app for some time now.
I wanted to connect to my xampp server at home in my macbookpro.
Downloading the files did work. But whenever I upload a file it says something about not working 'upload failed (at start/before it took off)'
What is this?
With my ftp server on my domain all works ok, but I wanted to not always have to upload via the internet...
Any Ideas?

Please try to enable the "Debug Log" setting and have a look at the log file.

What is the exact error message?

Here is a part of the log:

I think it has to do with the settings of the xampp server inside of my macbook.
But I have no idea...

Thanks for any input.

Hi, the FTP server sends this error message:

550 page_01a.htm: Permission denied

So it looks like the user you used to login doesn't have permissions on the server to create or write files in this directory. Changing file permissions on the server should fix this.

Hi.
Yes you are right.
I had no rights to write into the folder. Once I have changed this in the finder all works fine now.
Thanks for pointing in the right direction.
BTW Great App.
