Can't Upload To FTP SERVER?!?
I'm setting up FTP on a local box here, and everything works great except it can't be uploaded to!
I'm using filezilla server, and it's behind a NAT'ing firewall. It doesn't matter whether I'm in active or passive mode. No matter what, when trying to upload, it says "Error 550 Requested Action Not Taken"

Are you able to download files. You may also want to check the folder persmissions and the permissions in the ftp server and make sure the user have write access
remove the firezilla -- it has to be interfering in the port 25 FTP transfer.
Get it out and test it without that firewall. Why are you running a frewall on FTP?
That does NOT make any sense at all, an FTP server must be free of port 25 + restrictions.

I'd double check that filezilla is set up to allow uploads; I recall the permissions being a bit finicky, and uploads are definately blocked out of the box.

Ports 4000-5000 are forwarded in the firebox firewall and hard-set in filezilla for the passive ftp ports. Also ports 20-21 are forwarded in the firewall.
I've tried using the filezilla and IIS FTP, both show the same problem even while logged in as admin, so I'm assuming this is a firewall issue? The upload permissions for write access are definately set.

What router/firewall do you have. They are known bugs with many linksys, and even cisco routers regarding ftp, you made need to apply a new firmware or patch to an IOS,
Sometimes on the linksys you need to enable port triggering for the same ports that are being forwarded.

Great suggestion trying it from inside the network.
- It worked perfectly from inside on another PC
The router/firewall is a Watchguard Firebox III. I'm hating this thing it makes my life so much more complicated.

Freaking A.
I had to call Watchguard support and there was a stupid-ass checkbox deep within the settings that by default was making ftp sessions read-only.

Can I split points to cwillu centrepc and Carl legere/?
"making ftp sessions read-only."
that has to be the dumbest router setting there is. Indeed I hate the overly complicated firewalls, prefer Cisco where life is just about as simple or complex as YOU make it.

You may have better luck than me!
