Hi,
I think you need to make shure your IIS server on that machine is operational and you have the required privilages to perform this task, so contact your sysadmins.

Once you have ftp running from command line with no DS involved try doing it from DS.

IHTH,

Bump up the Tracing level in the FTP stage to something other than zero so you can get more information about the problem.

Two things: There are two places in the stage to do this. The values are additive - for example, to turn on 1 and 3 set the value to 4.

Make sure that the FTP port isn't blocked by your firewall, especially if you're on XP with SP2.
