I have windows server 2008r2 running a FTP server, so I can back up my configs and upgrade IOS when needed. My problem is than I can backup to the server just fine but when i try and restore a config or pull a new IOS over it gives me this error

%Error opening ftp://13****** (Protocol error) this is happening on every switch I have and I can't figure it out. Any help would be gratefully accepted

Check if you have firewall blocking.

Hi joel,

Check it whether you can ping the ftp server  or not.

Yes I can ping both ways. plus I can upload and download through a browser. I am convinced that it is a permissions problem, but I'll be wart on a frog if I can figure it out.
