Title

“Failed creating file” error when using PASSPORT FTP Client

Product

Issue

I am getting an error message that says “Failed creating file” when clicking on the Connect button in the FTP Client.  How can I resolve this?

Solution

This error occurs because the user does not have the WRITE permission to the temporary folder used by the FTP client (the path is located under Communication/Setup->Settings tab).  To correct this, the administrator needs to give the user WRITE permission to this folder or change the FTP temporary location to where this user has WRITE access.
