FTP Error Messages

some nice info about ftp error codes so you know what they mean. i am sure you see them all the time and sometimes you dont know what they mean, so take a look here.

The most common codes:
421 – often means: too many users logged to the same account.

530 – wrong login:pass, some servers auto-switch to 530 from 421 when they reach the max # of users. so notice the error message attached to the code.

550 – common in Ratio site, If the file exsist it means you have no access to the file or dir. if you try changing dirs in an FTP and you`re getting a 550 message, it means you don`t have access to the dir, but, It doesn`t mean you don`t have access to a dir inside that dir. (meaning when getting a direct path, log into the path directly, not 1 dir by 1).

All others:

110 Restart marker reply. In this case, the text is exact and not left to the particular implementation; it must read: MARK yyyy = mmmm Where yyyy is User-process data stream marker, and mmmm server’s equivalent marker (note the spaces between markers and “=”).
