Why Do I Get Error 15550 When Trying to FTP a File to My Real-Time Controller?

Primary Software: LabVIEW Development Systems>>LabVIEW Full Development System
Primary Software Version: 1.0
Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A
Secondary Software: N/A

Problem:
I am using the LabVIEW FTP VIs to send a file from my host computer to my Real-Time (RT) controller.  I am trying to create a new folder on the controller from my host computer and store my file in it, but I am receiving Error 15550: FTP Transaction: 550 Could not open file.  Why is this happening?

Solution:
When using the FTP VIs to move files, the creation of a new folder on the RT target from the host PC does not automatically occur.  There is a VI in the FTP VI library that provides this functionality.  This VI is not located on the FTP palette and must be browsed to at this location:

labview\vi.lib\addons\internet\ftp\ftp1.llb\FTP [MKD].vi

You can simply use this VI to create a new folder, then use the FTP Put File.vi to store files in that new folder.
