How Do You Close An Open File In An Ftp Session? I'm Trying To Upload An Image Using Ftp Into A Packeteer Unit But It Keeps On Giving Me This Error: "553 Latest8.zoo: Cannot Remove An Open File." How Do I Resolve This?

FTP is a really simple programme, it doesn't think outside the box.

This may be a stab in the dark, but I imagine that the file you are attempting to transfer simply isn't getting over; there is an error in writing it, in the session. Virtually all 553 messages have to do with failure to write a file. Think of it as a failure to write problem, not a failure to close.

Do you really have the permissions to write and copy the file? Have you tried to over-write an existing file name? Are you using the wrong transfer format (ascii when it should be binary, perhaps)? Have you included a directory in the path of the file to transfer to -- in which case, does that directory exist? Is the file impossibly large, ftp wasn't originally written for huge file transfers. It can do them well in some cases, but not if there is a hint of data corruption or other mistakes have been made.

These are the problems I'd be looking for.
