FTP error 550 2

[cats]

I've been having an ftp error #550 when I try to upload files to our server from DW3. Has anyone seen this error before? What does it mean and how can it be fixed? Thanks for your help during this challenging time!!

Cats...this is an error found in the following software:

Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5 for Windows 98
Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5 for Windows 95
Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5 for Windows NT 4.0

To fix the problem you must:

upgrade to Internet Explorer 5.01. You can obtain Internet Explorer 5.01 from the following Microsoft Web site:

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie

This problem was corrected in Internet Explorer 5.01

Actually (sorry to correct you Jeff) but the 550 error when you are trying to FTP from Dreamweaver is a generic server response. As cats indicated, they are trying to FTP through Dreamweaver three. They are not using IE at all. Here is what the FTP 550 error means.

"The 550 error is a message from the server stating that the account you have currently logged in as does not have permission to perform the action you are attempting. You may be trying to upload to the wrong directory or trying to delete a file."

Don't take this the wrong way jeff and yes you are right if you do get that error in IE you do need to upgrade that is taken directly from

http://www.microsoft.coms

website. But in this case it looks like a permissions problem.

Chow for now, and best luck uploading! B-)

Cats...

The Techman could be right. At least you do have a couple of options now. Check them out and re-post if you need more help.

Thanks Tech for your input. Ya' Gotta Love It!X-)
