Re: FTP PUT always fails and GET works. Security settings the cause?



It could be a problem with the VPN connection. If possible try to do the
same on the local network where the FTP server is located to see if the
problem still happens or not. VPN adds a lot of overhead and if the
connection is already slow I have seen connectivity problems when I used to
VPN into home from work. While you may have decent download speeds the
uplink speeds can leave a lot to be desired. The logs on the FTP server may
also show if there are problems with your user account trying to upload to
it and lack of permissions or even it that command was received. If you
have a personal firewall on your computer try disabling it to see if that
makes a difference or not. --- Steve
