I'm getting an error 81 trying to save a file. It creates the directories just fine and then when it tries to copy the files into the directory, I get the following in the CoreFTP server log:

[#1] [20120705 12:04:51] [pve_capture] STOR Sl13L9273/Export1/DATAGRP13/Images/0/0/0/00000001.TIF failed

[#1] [20120705 12:04:51] [pve_capture] PASV success

[#1] [20120705 12:04:51] [pve_capture] STOR 0 bytes

[#1] [20120705 12:04:51] STOR failed, error 81

The error code is what is returned by GetLastError()

There isn't a code for it:
msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms681382(v=vs.85).aspx

but I have a feeling it's either due to the directory not existing or some sort of permission error. Is it just one file or many files?

Thanks for the quick response! It was only one file. The software used to dump the file was able to create the directory structure, but not copy the file. In looking in more detail with it's log, it was stating 550 access denied, but yet if I used CORE FTP client to connect, it worked just fine. I believe its a bug in their software, nothing to do with Core FTP.

Another thing, if a directory doesn't exist, it needs to be created first. That might have been the reason for this error.
