    Hello,

    Are you the owner of the FTP (10.12.12.22)?

    Have you searched the internet for the error?

    Essaye de remplacer file:/// par file://.

      The problem is that he can't access this file. ;)

      It cannot access the file, and it is possible that its FTP server does not handle Unix commands.

    You need to check the rights on it. 

    ls -l /var/log | grep xferlog

    should I give the rights?

    -rw------- 1 root root 1714879 Jul 10 09:12 xferlog

    I suppose that FTP does not use the root user but has its own user.

    We will list the users and give rights (to the FTP user). 

    cat /etc/passwd | awk -F: '{print $1}'
