I’m not sure if this is an issue with FTP in general or using [Box.com](http://Box.com)’s FTP implementation with rclone. It seems to not be creating directories. 2018/04/07 12:43:21 ERROR : Scene\_029\_Toy\_Story/Images\_Scene029/Gallery\_Scene029/BaDoink.com\_Jenna\_J\_Ross\_Toy\_Story\_IMG001.jpg: Failed to copy: Put mkParentDir failed: mkdir “Filezilla/01\_BADOINK\_HD\_ASSETS/Scene\_029\_Toy\_Story/Images\_Scene029/Gallery\_Scene029” failed: 450 Non-existing file 2018/04/07 12:43:22 ERROR : Scene\_023\_Blacklisted/Images\_Scene023/Magazine\_Thumbs/03\_330x400.jpg: Failed to copy: Put mkParentDir failed: mkdir “Filezilla/01\_BADOINK\_HD\_ASSETS/Scene\_023\_Blacklisted/Images\_Scene023/Magazine\_Thumbs” failed: 450 Non-existing file ---

However what is failing is the test to see if the directory exists.... I wonder if box is returning error 450 instead of error 550 here like it is supposed to... Error 550 is what rclone is expecting when it tries to list a non existent directory and that is `550 Requested action not taken. File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access)` however error 450 is `450 Requested file action not taken.`... Can you try this work-around?

Dit that work-around work? Just wondering whether to merge it or not. ---

I decided to merge the fix anyway [https://beta.rclone.org/v1.40-126-gae562b5a/](https://beta.rclone.org/v1.40-126-gae562b5a/) (uploaded in 15-30 mins) This will be in [the latest beta](https://beta.rclone.org) from now on and in 1.41. Let me know if it works! Thanks ---

Sorry about that. I’ve decided to drop box and focus on Dropbox instead. It’s much nicer for the most part. ---
