Go to command prompt and give FTP <Server name>. Then give the usrename and password given in your XI. If it connects to the FTP server then you should not have problem connecting from XI also. Can you check this?

Hi dhil,

I think you have to mention the name of the directory where your file adapter will create the file.

Create a virtual directory in the ftp server and then mention the same in xi file adapter .

Suppose you create the dirctory in ftp server as KUMAR. Then mention the filename in adapter as

/KUMAR.

btw the username which you are using to create file. Does it have the relevant permission?

Hi Kumar,

I think you havent specified the file creation mode. Specify the file creation mode.

Select it as directly instead of put... Dont remember exactly..that is the reason why you are getting the error.
