It would still help to know what software you have.

This command looks unlikely to me:

Quote:
site chmod -R 777 /batch/ftpTest
Please try the very basic form of the command. Many ftp commands do not accept full pathnames or command switches. The chmod will only ever work if the account on the remote server has permissions to issue a chmod on the directory and if local ftpd policy allows the function. The permissions on the directory are important too. The "rhelp" (remote help) and similarly "rhelp site" at your ftp prompt should tell you whether the chmod command is implemented.

Code:
cd /batch
dir ftpTest
put ftpTest
dir ftpTest
chmod 777 ftpTest
dir ftpTest

If local rules allow there are much better methods than ftp to transfer files between unix servers.

ftpusers

FTPUSERS(5)						     Linux Programmer's Manual						       FTPUSERS(5)

NAME

       ftpusers - list of users that may not log in via the FTP daemon

DESCRIPTION

       The  text  file	ftpusers  contains a list of users that may not log in using the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server daemon.  This file is
       used not merely for system administration purposes but for improving security within a TCP/IP networked	environment.   It  will  typically
       contain	a  list  of  the  users that either have no business using ftp or have too many privileges to be allowed to log in through the FTP
       server daemon.  Such users usually include root, daemon, bin, uucp, and news.  If your FTP server daemon doesn't use ftpusers  then  it	is
       suggested  that	you  read  its	documentation  to find out how to block access for certain users.  Washington University FTP server Daemon
       (wuftpd) and Professional FTP Daemon (proftpd) are known to make use of ftpusers.

   Format
       The format of ftpusers is very simple.  There is one account name (or username) per line.  Lines starting with a # are ignored.

FILES

       /etc/ftpusers

SEE ALSO

       passwd(5), proftpd(8), wuftpd(8)
