so I thought I will give this software a try after years with Dreamweaver, but I got a problem browsing my files with its ftp browser.
When I log in with a different ftp client, I can see my files without any problem, but in the phpD client, I can only browse "aspnet_client".
Any idea why ?
It seems some broken FTP clients cant get the correct path to your username directory, this specific client trying to access the root directory, all you have to do is provide him your ftp path (instead of the default '/'), usually - your username.

I am brand new to using an FTP server. I just downloaded FileZilla and did nothing different, just kept hitting continue through the insallation and then opened it with the server 127.0.0.1 and the default port.
Now I get this:
Also when I see other people putting their files on the server they have a different looking application than I do. It is split and has two different sides in which they load the files to the server. I do not see how they got to that. I watch a beginners tutorial, but it did not really explain how to get to that part.
You have installed FileZilla server.
While you probably wanted FileZilla client.
I've searched a lot of websites and have found no answers. How can I create just a normal FTP account (which can be used on Port 22 for Filezilla aswell as the SSH) that is in the folder "/home/hisname"? I want it to only be able to make files in that directory and run them, and make it so he can't mess with any other parts of the system.
I've really been searching all morning. Please help.
As long as you have an FTP server installed, a regular user should be able to use it in authenticated mode - no special qualities needed.

This depends on which ftp daemon you use. Normally, FTP accounts are just the normal accounts you use to log in to your machine. You can change a standard user's login directory by modifying /etc/passwd, for example, or when creating the new user.
I'm working on a scenario wherein I need to move some files from one FTP location to another. The FTP server is the same but credentials for the source and destination are different.
For example,
I need to copy files
FROM
"ftp://sampleftp.com/sourceFolder" with login credentials "User1", "Password1"
TO
"ftp://sampleftp.com/destinationFolder" with login credentials "user2","password_2"
Kindly note the different credentials I have used above for source and destination.
I referred to this similar stackoverflow question link but that seems to work for the FTP folder with constant login credentials.
Can someone please guide me on how best can I implement this?
I am using UltraEdit for FTP. While saving my files to other server using FTP I am getting above error as ;'Error: Requested action not taken. file name not allowed'.
Could anyone know the possible cause and solution for it.
Thanks in advance
Well, the FTP server returns error code 40553 - Requested action not taken. File name not allowed.
The reason is most likely a bad character in file name, or a too long file name, or there is a file already on the server with same name and you do not have the permissions to overwrite this file.
You could also have made a mistake in the FTP account configuration like a typing mistake in initial directory.
Do you have downloaded the file from the FTP server before you tried uploading it?
Please note that Unix file systems most often used on FTP servers are case-sensitive and therefore a file with name "MyFile.txt" is a different file than "myfile.txt".
Finally, very often a firewall blocks data transfer in a separate data channel established from FTP server to FTP client module in UltraEdit. In this case the option Passive transfers (for firewalls) should be enabled on the Server tab of this FTP account in the FTP Account Manager window.
I was doing a complete redesign of a website for a client and everything was going fine until I went to ftp it. The login and password that he gave me works fine, but when I try to upload the files an error message pops up saying:
An FTP error occurred - cannot create new folder. Access denied. The file may not exist or there could be a permission problem. Make sure you have proper authorization on the server and the server is properly configured.
I can see the files that are already on the server, so I know I'm connected fine, but how do I get this website online? Do I contact the previous coder of the website to make the files writable? Or is the problem elsewhere?
Any help would be appreciated!
A hosting service may require you to place all files to /www for example and deny access to anything else. You may try to reset user rights via that webhost's web interface. If the service allows for some ssh access, you can try using that to see where your problem is. If SFTP works, even better, you can use just that instead.
