FTP: File receiver cc error...Looks pretty simple...Can U solve this

Question

Hello all,
   I have a simple scenario of sending the file from shared directory to FTP. When I execute the sceanrio..sender is picking up the file ..No issues in SXMB_MONI...but when I checked in the message monitoring...at adapter level for file receiver which is using FTP..This is what its throwing...
   Delivery of the message to the application using connection AFW failed, due to: com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 550 '/': File exists.
Looks like some thing to do with the directory path...and also FTP is built on UNIX environment...
  I tried all the possibilities for target directory.....
1) /
  Delivery of the message to the application using connection AFW failed, due to: com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 550 '/': File exists.
2) \
Connect to FTP server "ftp.abc.com", directory "\"
Error Attempt to process file failed with com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 257 "/\" is the current directory.
Error Exception caught by adapter framework: com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 257 "/\" is the current directory.
Error Delivery of the message to the application using connection AFW failed, due to: com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 257 "/\" is the current directory..
  AND when I check the FTP server its creating the directory with "\"
3) ./
Success Connect to FTP server "ftp.abc.com", directory "./"
Error Attempt to process file failed with com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 550 './': File exists
Error Exception caught by adapter framework: com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 550 './': File exists
4) .\
  Success Connect to FTP server "ftp.abc.com", directory ".\"
Attempt to process file failed with com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 257 "/.\" is the current directory.
Error Exception caught by adapter framework: com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 257 "/.\" is the current directory.
Error Delivery of the message to the application using connection AFW failed, due to: com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 257 "/.\" is the current directory..
  EVEN HERE it created the ".\" folder on FTP site.
5) Finally tried "."
Success Connect to FTP server "ftp.abc.com", directory "."
Error Attempt to process file failed with com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 550 '.': File exists
Error Exception caught by adapter framework: com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 550 '.': File exists
Error Delivery of the message to the application using connection AFW failed, due to: com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 550 '.': File exists.
Error The message status set to NDLV.
   I AM pretty sure that it works with out mentiong any directory path as some of the unix system allow that...But in XI target directory is mandatory field....
DID ANYONE FACED THIS KINDAA ISSUE BEFORE..ANY HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED AND
OBVIOUSLY POINTS WILL AWARDED....

Raju,
ftp -s:
<shared>\abc.txt >
<shared>\ftpresult\ftpresult.txt
MOVE
<yoursource directory>\*.txt 
<shared>\archive  ( to archive the file)
and in abc.txt:
open <ftp>
<user>
<password>
put
<source directory of your file>\*.txt
quit
you can even check your ftpresult.txt file to see whether it executed perfectly or not....and finally use that batch file in the receiver communication channel with full path..
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Ravi
