I have a VP2 station and the latest WD running on Windows 10 which has worked seamlessly for years. Since the 15th September the FTP upload has failed with the following error codes:

Check to make sure that you’re able to manually upload a file to your server. I think it’s uploading a file and then trying to rename it on the server. It looks like the upload is reported as successful but the rename fails. Maybe the upload is failing somehow, e.g. out of disk space, a permissions problem, or some other reason, so the rename operation then fails.
Just transferred the clientraw files manually using Filezilla and that worked.
Somehow the directory structure on the server had changed without any intervention from me. The WD files had gone from the root to a folder called httpd.www Weird!
Added the new directory and everything is working OK. Thanks for the support suggestions.
I’m having exact the same problems since 22/09. This is what my ftp log looks like:

Try logging into your server manually and check whether the folder structure had been changed. Sometimes hosting companies might do that when changing their systems not realising the effect it could have in automated uploads.
