I've been trying to get this node to work...

> **[node-red-contrib-lftp](https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-lftp)**
>
> A node-red node that supports FTP(s) and SFTP file transfer

I can list the files on a remote FTP server, but that's about it.  
I can't get PUT or GET to work.

Just wondering if anyone has any success with the node before I waste more time struggling with it.

Sounds like a permissions problem, are you logging in anonymously?

Hi Garry,  
I'm logging-in as an FTP user.  
Really strange as I'm using exactly the same credentials as I use in FileZilla and WinSCP.

No Dave, I haven't used FTP for ages. Just trying to think why it's not working for you!

I have this problem with all sftp and ftp nodes. I can list or even remove some folder but not put or get a file. Does someone know anything about this?  
The nodes I have been used are these:  
node-red-contrib-ftp-sftp  
node-red-contrib-ftp-env  
node-red-contrib-better-sftp  
node-red-contrib-advanced-ftp
