This looks like an FTP log. If it is, 550 is normally permission denied. Make sure the FTP user you're using has write permissions for the folders on the server. This is something your host can help with.

If it still persist, contact your host as they may need to check some things with you in case your connection info in wrong.

Good luck! Ash
