Did you set the connection to use on the Change Directory Action? What is the error message you see in the log?

Hi   
  
 Try placing the ‘FTP Check If Connected’ action immediately before the action that is failing. This action will allow you to fail the build if the FTP connection is not available for use or you can use it to attempt to re-establish the connection if has been closed.
