451: File transfer failed. Multi-byte data conversion error occurred

Explanation

The data cannot be translated using the iconv() code conversion library function. One or more codepoints in the data cannot be converted.

System action

FTP continues.

User response

Issue the following command to gather information about the conversion failure:

SITE DEBUG=FSC DUMP=42

Reissue the file transfer subcommand that failed and contact the system programmer to request the server trace of the failed conversion attempt. The DEBUG parameter generates a display of the reason the conversion failed. For some types of conversion errors, the DUMP parameter generates a display of the actual data that could not be converted.

If you are not allowed to issue the SITE command to change the server trace options, ask the system programmer to set the debug and dump options with a MODIFY command to the FTP server, close the session to the server, enter FTP again and reissue the failing subcommand.

System programmer response

None.
