Filezilla 550 upload transfer error Mate to Mint machine

Post by k1ypp »

I'm trying to transfer files from one Linux machine (Ubuntu Mate) running Filezilla to another Linux machine running Linux Mint. Filezilla comes up running with no errors. I connect the Filezilla client to the Mint machine running an FSFTP server and I get a proper connection. I then, via Filezilla (or on the MINT machine) create a folder called "ftp." I've tried both creations. I then select a local file on the Filezilla/Mate machine and try to upload it to the Mint machine and get the ever popular 550 error, failed to transfer the file.

I can run ftp on command line and can transfer files from the Mint machine to the Mate machine. I cannot do the same in reverse, from the Mate machine to the Mint machine, either with Filezilla, or via command line ftp. I'm suspecting that I need to set some parameter on the Mint machine to allow the file upload from the Mate machine, but cannot figure out what that would be.

I've changed the permissions to 777 on the Mint ftp folder, to no avail. Once solved, I will change things to something more restrictive, but for the moment, I need to figure out what is wrong first.

What follows is all of the pertinent setup and machine info:

The server machine is running Linux Mint 20.2 Cinnamon. I installed VSFTP on it as the FTP server.

I have a remote machine on the same network running FILEZILLA on Ubuntu Mate:

Re: Filezilla 550 upload transfer error Mate to Mint machine

Post by k1ypp »

I don't know why, but I think it has to do with the comment in the following web site, where it says that the client won't be able to upload files from Filezilla with out the procedure shown. It fixed my problem:
