can someone please tell me how to fix this? @Kiran
i’m on milestone #2 of mod 3

#2

Can you check if the file upload.txt actually exists in the current location and if it does exist, does it have the correct permissions.

#3

yeahh. it does exist and i also give 777 to its permission. still the same error.

#4

Can you tell me the initial command that you used to start the ftp client?

#5

ftp <workspace_URL> 8081

#6

Did you use workspace url or ip address?

#7

the IP address …

#8

Try using ftp -p 8081

#9

I just read up on the milestone you have to use the local client, think what would be the address for that.

#12

Try one thing.
Start the server
Then use netstat -an
And take a look at address associated with port 8081

have you set the values for pasv_min_port & pasv_max_port
if yes then check if there is another server is running or not
if yes then kill that server
for reference see this
