Drop the "ftp:/" and make it an absolute path on the remote machine, not an URI

you need to check the input tab properties of ftp stage where we mention the Remote Path, please verify it for access and if it is correctly defined.

In the server plugin you give the remote host name, the path and the file. No URI

In other words, the 'path' is what the FTP stage will attempt to 'cd' to before the put/get is issued for the 'filename'.
