Server Failures

[mysat5]

Hi there,

I've been able to upload files via Yummy for a very long time now without any problems until last week. I started receiving this error:

"Message from the Server: 'Couldn't write to remote file: SSH2_FX_FAILURE - Failure'"

I can download files from internal / external servers as well as write to external servers, however, I can not write to internal servers.

I had someone outside of my workplace try to write to our server and he is able to. This tells me something may have become misconfigured in Yummy within my own settings. Not sure how to fix this error. Any ideas?

Thanks!

There is nothing to configure, so that can't be the problem.

Are you using v1.8.4 of Yummy?

If you transferred to the same server successfully with Yummy FTP in the past then something changed which is preventing it. Yummy FTP hasn't changed, so did your server get changed?

By suggestion would be to ask the server administrator to examine the server logs to see why you're getting this message.

I realize this is an older thread, but people may still be reading it if they encounter the same issue. I got the same error message, and it turned out that the disk was full on the server I was trying to upload to. This may not have been the case for mysat5, since someone outside the network was able to upload to the server. However, checking the available disk space (as well as file permissions) would be a good thing to start with for anyone who gets the message "Message from the Server: 'Couldn't write to remote file: SSH2_FX_FAILURE - Failure'"

@SB, THANK YOU SO MUCH for posting your solution here!

It helped out of a 2 hour search for the reason why an upload kept failing all the time with this stupid error message.

@yummy software : why don't you help your users by giving a helpful error message, or by adding a hint to the error message like "possible cause: not enough space left on target device" or whatever.

Possibly, although there could be other reasons for this message that I'd also have to list, and of course there are loads of cryptic messages from servers...

My suggestion would be to contact me for support. In most cases I respond in less than 2 hours
