FTP Return Codes (or "What does the 530 mean?")
When FTPing, you have probably noticed three digit codes in the transfer log. These codes let you know when things have gone right (226, for example, means that your action was successful), though most people notice the codes when things have gone wrong (the 550 can mean you don't have proper permissions).
Here's an excerpt from our FTP Codes Page that gives a brief overview of what those return codes mean...
500 Series: The command was not accepted and the requested action did not take place.
400 Series: The command was not accepted and the requested action did not take place, but the error condition is temporary and the action may be requested again.
300 Series: The command has been accepted, but the requested action is dormant, pending receipt of further information.
200 Series: The requested action has been successfully completed.
100 Series: The requested action is being initiated, expect another reply before proceeding with a new command.
