ftp copy of cisco asa image failing with permission denied error even when the credentials are right

[poomanju]

Hi,

I am seeing this error 

ASAv-1(config)# copy test.xml ftp://user:Cisco!23@<server_ip>/<user_folder_name>/test.xml

Source filename [test.xml]?

Address or name of remote host [10.86.89.125]?

Destination username [user]?

Destination password [Cisco!23]?

Destination filename [<user_folder_name/test.xml]?

%Error opening ftp://user:Cisco!23@<server_ip>/<user_folder_name>/test.xml (Permission denied)

Credentials are indeed correct and it works perfectly fine on another ASA that I have.

I have the command "ftp mode passive" configured.

What else could help fix this issue?

Does that ftp account has write permissions?

Hello.
Did you manage to solve this problem?

Probably better to start a new post vs commenting on a 4 year old post.
