Can't deploy via FTP because of error message 450

Hi,

I have set up artifacts and deployment to FTP. After the build finishes I have my artifacts listed and deployment starts. However, the FTP deployment returns the following message: "The remote server returned an error: (450) File unavailable" when trying to create the output folder on the target FTP site. I already checked that creating a directory on the FTP site works via different FTP clients.

Packaging artifacts...OK
Uploading artifact Brainchest.TimeStamp.WP8\bin\ARM\Release Pro\Brainchest.TimeStamp.WP8.xap (3.6 MB)...OK
Deploying using FTP provider
Uploading artifact "Brainchest.TimeStamp.WP8/bin/ARM/Release Pro/Brainchest.TimeStamp.WP8.xap" to FTP server "ftp://f9-preview.awardspace.net" as "Brainchest.TimeStamp.WP8/bin/ARM/Release Pro/Brainchest.TimeStamp.WP8.xap"
Creating remote directory "Brainchest.TimeStamp.WP8/bin/ARM/Release Pro"...The remote server returned an error: (450) File unavailable (e.g., file busy).

Do you have more detailed information on what's wrong here? Can I choose a target directory myself?

Regards, Stephan

  1. Hi Stephan,

    There is a setting at the bottom of FTP provider settings form: Use alternative FTP library (beta). Enabled it together with Write FTP commands to console. Hope that helps.

  2. This actually works fine now. Thanks for the help. You can close this discussion now.
