Multiple FTP errors on upload

I'm trying to upload a file to a remote FTP server using the following configuration:

'ftp' => [
            'driver' => 'ftp',
            'host' =>  env('FTP_HOSTNAME'),
            'username' => env('FTP_USERNAME'),
            'password' => env('PASSWORD'),
            'timeout' => 30,
        ],

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use File;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Storage;

class FtpTestController extends Controller
{
    public function saveFileToFTP() 
    {
        $localFile = File::get(storage_path('app/csv/test_1.csv'));

        Storage::disk('ftp')->put('test_4-23.csv', $localFile);
    }
}

It results in this error... local.ERROR: ftp_fput(): Type set to I.

I did some digging and it looks like a few issues were resolved setting the connection to passive. But when doing so I get this error...

Could not set passive mode for connection: example.com::21 at /var/www/html/example.com/vendor/league/flysystem/src/Adapter/Ftp.php:183)

Well, you should turn off passive mode in your server. (ssh your server and type passive) then be sure that the dir you are uploading to is exists

@psylogic I've tried just about everything and I'm about to give up. I've logged in and changed from passive to active and back again with the same result. If I do a pwd command it returns

ftp> pwd
257 "/" is current directory.
ftp>

the root is exactly where I want to place the file.

Also, even after changing back to active mode I'm still getting the same error. Is this cached somewhere?

$conn_id = ftp_connect("IP");
ftp_login($conn_id, "username", "password");
dd(ftp_put($conn_id, 'newfilename', "yourfile", FTP_ASCII));

try this without using laravel FileSytem.. just to be sure if it works like so

@psylogic I did try that and it still failed. I was able to connect successfully but I couldn't upload or download. I finally figured it out. It was as simple as setting ssh => true & passive => true
