FTP server configuration giving problem

[hanu]

Hi,

My requirement is to import bulk amount of conetent (nearly 20gb). I read from web, the FTP is the best approach for importing content.

I tried FTP server configuration by following the instructions given in the following link:
“http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/File_Server_Subsystem#FTP_Server_Configuration”

When I access the the server(ftp://admin:admin@localhost:21), it is displaying empty.
When I tried to drag & drop the file or folder into FTP, is giving "550 Access Denied Error"

Is it the right way I am following?

Please suggest me.

Thanks,
Hanu.

I wonder if there is a problem on the Ubuntu image . I have a dedicated box with Ubuntu server 9.0.4 with Alfresco loaded via apt-get . I have similar requirement to move about 500 files, about 10GB of content to transfer. I have transferred all to my home directory via scp but can't figure out how to transfer from my home directory to a space in Alfresco. From docs I should be able to ftp to localhost, sign onto Alfresco with my user credentials there, and then ftp into that space.

axmc@metrix:~$ sudo ftp localhost
[sudo] password for axmc:
Connected to localhost.
220 (vsFTPd 2.0.7)
Name (localhost:axmc): alfresco
530 This FTP server is anonymous only.
Login failed.

Haven't even gotten to the blank directory problem elsewhere on the threads.
