Error accessing a file or folder (4 posts)

    I'm new to this.

    When I try to upload for the first time I get this message:
    "Fetch could not put (filename) because the FTP server encountered an error accessing a file or folder.

    Server responded (filename) . Permisssion denied"

    I get this message wheter I try to use Put or drag and drop.
    I don't know what it means or how to remedy the situation.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi,

    We'd like some more information to help diagnose the problem.

    After you try to upload and you get the error message, could you please choose Fetch Transcript from the Window menu, copy the entire contents of the transcript window, and paste them into a reply to this message?

    We'll take a look and try to figure out what's going on.

    Thanks,

    Scott McGuire

    Hi,

    It looks like you are connecting to that server without a username and password, which is called "anonymous access." Typically, when servers allow anonymous access, they only allow you to download files from them - you cannot upload files or delete files.

    So I think the problem is that you do not have permission to upload files to that server when logged in without a username and password. You should contact the person/company that runs the server and find out what username and password you need to use when connecting to the server in order to upload files.

    Please let us know if you have further questions. Thanks,

    Scott McGuire
