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://.

500 OOPS: failed to open xferlog log file:/var/log/xferlog

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

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}'
