Hello Pablo,

It probably has to do with the configuration of the FTP server. You may need to specify that /home/pablo is a directory which is allowed to be viewed/written via FTP.

If I may be so bold, why are you not using SFTP or SCP for file transfer? I would be more secure, and the speed difference is negligible for small file transfers - it looks like you are able to log in via SSH - which means you should already be able to do sftp or scp...?
