Ftp – Problem transferring file to FTP server – 503 Could not create file

ftpssiswinscp

I try to transfer a file from SSIS package to a FTP server provided by my client. When I try connecting and transfer using a FTP tool (WinSCP) manually it works fine and file was transferred. But when i use the ftp command in command prompt and try to transfer using "send" command i get an error "553 could not create file". This also happens from SSIS package. I'm not in control of the FTP server but if anyone can provide a solution I can pass it to the admin or anything to be done from my end?

Did you command window authenticate to the FTP server with the same username/UID as WinSCP used? Were you working in the same server directory? Almost certainly you will find a difference in one or both of those items, and that difference will help show where the problem lies.
