I am receiving a PUTFILE Error #550 when attempting to send a file. I use the same file creation methods and scripting format with other file transfer but when sending to this particular FTP server I get the below results. I believe it is causing the sending of my files to be delayed over several transmissions. I am not sure why the file has the ".part" extension. It is not visible to me and not present in the results of any other scripts I am using.

Hello,

This means that your FTP server does not allow file renaming. This is quite important for ScriptFTP as it uploads the files with a different name and once the file is completely uploaded it renames it to its original name. This is used to prevent data corruption on failed uploads.

Fortunately it is quite easy to fix. Try this on the top of your script file:

[scriptftp="avoid_error_550.ftp"]SETUPLOADMODE(DIRECT)[/ScriptFTP]
