FTP problem - cannot create file, change name

[jrbrown00]

I am connected to an AIX machine using FTP. Now, when I try to view or edit my files, I get this message:

Cannot create file, change name.

The file name in the dialog box is this:

C:\Users\jbrown\AppData\Local\Temp\_tc\IFS

The last node is the name of the file I am trying to pull over and view from the FTP site. I have been unable to find this problem in the forum. If it is there, please point me to it.

Window7 Enterprise 32 bit Version 6.1 (build 7601 Service Pack1)

"IFS" isn't a forbidden name. Either the remote name contains some (maybe invisible) forbidden characters, or a virus scanner prevented the creation of the file (e.g. because of a false positive).

The same thing happened to me today when I tried to download a file to my C: partition. I had [b]NO[/b] problem, however, when I tried to download the file to my D: partition.
I am using Windows 7, Professional, 64-bit, service pack 1.

Did you tried to download directly to the "C:" (root-) folder?

Starting with Windows Vista the security concept/system protection of Windows doesn't allow the non elevated user to create a file inside the %SystemDrive% path.

"Creating files / write data" is a special permission "only for subfolders".

Thank you!!
I am NOT able to download to the "C:\" (root-) folder.
However, I am able to download to sub folders (sub directories).
