Re: JFTP::store: Bad response Warning! - Failed to move fil

var $ftp_host = 'www.yourdomain.com';
var $ftp_host = 'www.yourdomain.com';

Re: JFTP::store: Bad response Warning! - Failed to move fil
I finally figured out how to resolve my problem on Joomla 1.5.23. This link http://docs.joomla.org/Cannot_save_Glob ... on_changes provides the background for my solution.
JFTP::store: Bad response means Joomla has tried to use FTP update a file, in this case configuration.php, and the update is unsuccessful. There are 2 things that can go wrong:
- ftp host or username or password is wrong and Joomla cannot login using ftp
- the path to configuration.php is wrong and Joomla cannot find the file configuration.php
To fix, use ftp or cpanel to download configuration.php to your PC, edit the following fields then upload back:
var $ftp_enable = '1':
var $ftp_host = '<hostname of your website>';
var $ftp_port = '21';
var $ftp_user = '<ftp username>';
var $ftp_pass = '<ftp password>';
var $ftp_root = '<path to configuration.php relative to ftp account path ';
Some explanation:
var $ftp_enable = '1':
1. first, find out the ownership of file configuration.php
2. if it is nobody or apache or www-data, you must set $ftp_enable to '0' . You have now told Joomla to
use php to update configuration.php instead of ftp. In this mode, the owner of file configuration.php
must match the owner of web server process, which is normally nobody or apache on a linux host.
If $ftp_enable is set to '0', you no longer need to fill out the rest of ftp parameters
3. if it is your ftp username, you must set $ftp_enable to '1'
4. if you have root access, you can configure either way but update via ftp is the recommended way
var $ftp_root = 'relative path to configuration.php':
In cpanel, use file manager and browse to configuration.php. The path name in upper left corner is
the relative path, usually public_html. if you use other means to browse to configuration.php, just
make sure that:
<absolute path to configuration.php> = <ftp account base path> + <relative path set in var $ftp_root>
As an example for my case, my whole joomla directory is uploaded to /home/punktea/public_html/web,
the base directory is /home/punktea when I login using ftp so I set var $ftp_root to 'public_html/web

Re: JFTP::store: Bad response Warning! - Failed to move fil
I couldn't install Joomla 1.7.2 with IE9 or Firefox. It would go to the first page where you set the language, and then just hang. But it installed fine in Google Chrome. But now I have the ownership problem, even though I can chmod files via ftp. They show the correct permissions, but still I getiamthezio wrote:Have any of you changed browsers when uploading?
I get all these errors when using Safari and Firefox.
But no errors when using IE.
Makes me wonder.

when I try to install contribs with the Extension Manager. I installed one template using the upload the files, then Discover and Install method, but now it won't do that for any other contribs, either.
I created a new configuration.php file and uploaded it. Did not fix it for me.

Re: JFTP::store: Bad response Warning! - Failed to move fil
Thanks, that solved it for me. I had my path written as 'public_html/web/ When I removed the trailing slash, it then worked as it should.punktea wrote: the base directory is /home/punktea when I login using ftp so I set var $ftp_root to 'public_html/web

Re: JFTP::store: Bad response Warning! - Failed to move fil
Ok guys. I got already 13 hours of reading each of the clues that each of you posted in here.
I really can't fix it. I can't even upload and install the catalyst for 2.5 joomla template because now it's giving me error:
Note: "I am a noob when I talk about php things." I tried all of the infos posted in here, but maybe i really miss something.
I tried in this way also:
1. I unzipped the catalyst template and uploaded in /tmp folder.
2. I tried to Install it from: "Install from Directory"
but its appearing this error and i thought its cuze it can't be read. And i simply gaved 777 for permissions and still this error:
Thanks in advance, Mike.
By the way, i tried also with Internet explorer to upload and install and still the same error:
When I enable ftp which means '1' in configuration.php, and trying to Upload&Install i get these errors using both firefox and ie.
After 2 hours of hoping that some1 would read my issue and trying to help me with this kind of problem, and playing around a bit thru ftp, I found only this errors now:

Re: JFTP::store: Bad response Warning! - Failed to move fil
Ok never mind. I fixed it alone.
It was the PHP "safe_mode" on. And i had to turn off by calling my providers.
Now I got this problem and I hope that you could advice me on how to solve it.
It appears to be a joomla issue.
This is my website http://www.war0nline.net/beta and In the Forum, when appears the subcategories, Try to press one of those.
Appears this error and no1 spoke about it actually.
Can some1 please advice me about this problem?

Re: JFTP::store: Bad response Warning! - Failed to move fil
I realize this thread is a little old, but I just ran across this error when I was trying to make changes to Site>Global Configuration in Joomla 2.5. In my case it was because the configuration.php file was set to read only (444). Using the FTP client, I changed the settings to 777, made my changes, and then set it back to 444.
Hopefully this will help someone else.
Thanks for all the great posts.

I also was having this issue, I was able to fix the issue by enabling the FTP layer and inputting the required information.

Re: JFTP::store: Bad response Warning! - Failed to move fil
Hi Everyone
“JFTP::write: Bad response” usually occurred when Joomla! is working in FTP Enabled mode. This article, FTP Layer-Hints is very useful if you wish to run Joomla! with FTP enabled. If you still getting JFTP error message after implement above, please make sure the FTP details is filled-in correctly, especially the, it can be tricky if you install Joomla in subdirectory. If you still getting the same error message, you may want to consider other solutions.
Should you have any error saving the changes in global configuration after clicked the save button, please check on Cannot save global configuration. I have this problem and i cannot solve it. Temporary, i have to manually change the configuration.php and re-upload to server which is quite tedious for me. I have posted a topic regard it. If anyone has similar problem and managed to solve it, please post the solution in above topic. Any help would be appreciated.
Of course, turn off FTP layer should always solve above error because now Joomla! is running with web server process identity, not FTP login any more.
Go to /configuration.php, find and change it to save and upload the file to your server by using any ftp program, or you may upload it using cpanel.
OR
you may change it from Administrator back-end
Adminstrator->Global Configuration->Server[Tab]->FTP Settings[Group]->Check OFF
