Problem

In MCP0200 when clicking on the View Directory button the error message 550 - The System cannot find the path specified is shown. The path shown in the top of the window exists on the server and there is a *.shp file in the folder. The folder permissions are ok (read/write/execute for all users).

 Solution

The error ‘550 - The System cannot find the path specified’ was ‘originated’ on FTP server. To check it run the SQL command below:

 begin

           nm3mcp_ftp.MOVE_SHAPEFILES_IN;

 end;

and the output is:

ORA-20000: 550-The system cannot find the path specified.

The issue is related to ftp user account and recreating it (or changing it to another one) on FTP server solves the issue. When everything is fine and running SQL command (above) the output should be:

 220 FTP_SERVER

331 Password required for FTP_USER
