How can I upload a file to ftp server

[Barry Yu]

In ftp server  /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf  the settings as ;
    write_enable=YES 
    anon_upload_enable=YES

Within a lan from a remote machine, login as regular user and tried to 
upload a file to ftp server with commands below  but failed and got message;
    put   xyz.txt     123.txt   (upload the file xyz.txt  to  ftp sever 
with  a new name 123.txt )

    the message I got is ;
        local : xyz.txt     remote : 123.txt
       227    Entries  passive mode (192,156,1,111,210,13)
       553    could not create file

What's wrong? Thanks for adv
