I have to agree here. MY first thought was 'He hasn't even got an FTP
server' but MArtin is correct. Obviously you have managed to connect in
order to get a permissions error. Obviously you have connected to an FTP
server but there is not permission to access the requested directory.

Sounds about right. Why don't you consider copying the files programatically
over the network instead of using FTP?
Use Copyfile and then the local/network paths - I don't see why this would
not work..
