Not had this myself, but instinct says authorisations seems most likely (or invalid file name for the operating system you are writing to?)... if the former, are you trying to go an overwrite of an existing file e.g. does it work if you change the target name to, say, sdn.txt as anonymous FTP sometime has this restriction... and does subdirectory x/ exist on target system? It's one of those hard to figure without being there... can you FTP from another application (winFTP or whatever) successfully?

Jonathan,

Thanks for your reply.

I am trying to overwrite an existing file in the FTP server with same name . Can you please confirm if the file already exist then if we trying to overwrite with same name ,then this error occurs?

Hi,

I've read somewhere (can't find the link, sorry) that this can be a problem with anonymous FTP for example, so it seems likely on this occasion too. If I find the reference tomorrow then I'll post it.

I just tried "ftp guest ftp overwrite" in Google and here's one example of the setup for FTP where the permissions for overwrite can be set:
