Trouble With FTP Deploy - What Am I Doing Wrong?

I setup appveyor to provide continuous integration for a github project. It's been great! Thank you for such a great product.

The only thing I'm having trouble with is the FTP Deploy. I've setup an Environment and I'm trying to manually push a deployment to my FTP site. I have an artifact setup - it's a .zip file containing everything in the output folder from the build. The output I see looks promising.

It says:

Uploading artifact 'myproject/bin/output.zip' to FTP server 'ftp://mysite.com' as 'mypath/builds/output.zip'
Creating remote directory 'mypath/builds'...OK
Uploading 'myproject/bin/output.zip'....The remote server returned an error: (550) File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access).

The thing is, when I log into the FTP site using a regular FTP client, I don't see any created directories. I tried to Google about the 550 error, and it usually means that you don't have permissions, but the account I'm using has full read/write access (I have a more limited account I wanted to use for deployments, but when I couldn't get that to work, I went to the full-blown one'.

Has anyone run into this before? I'm not really specifying anything except the remote folder, and even if I leave that blank it fails to create any directories.

Thanks

   Hi Rob,

   I guess it's "active" FTP. If so please see the explanation in the last section here: http://www.appveyor.com/docs/deployment/ftp

   I have not clicked the active mode checkbox in FTP environment, but still getting the above error.
   Any tip to resolve will be handy.

   Thanks
