Have you tried to ftp a file from your pc to the same destination, you
can just type the commands into the command window to replicate what
your job is doing

ftp -n -v
ftp>open nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn
ftp>user xxxxxxxxxx password
ftp>cd directory required if logon doesn't place you there
ftp>binary
ftp>put TESTFILE
ftp>quit

This should test that you at least have the correct permissions on the
target to put a file.

at the ftp> prompt you might also try a dir to list the files on the
target you may get a different helpful error.

If that all works and your on the same lan/subnet as the HP3000 then as
Craig Says you may be into looking at what ftp version you are running.
If your direct ftp may be taking a different route to the target than
the HP3000 would, then try finding some other hardware on the same route
as the HP3000 and try the ftp from there.
