    Any idea will be appreciated?

  • Sounds like a disk permission problem - snapshots bcp the data out to disk, then bcp back in on the subscriber.

  • That error usually means the bcp file can not be found.

    It appears your subscriber has succesfully connected to your ftp server but the file it's looking for is not there.

    Your root directory on the ftp server should be similiar to:

    C:\mssql7\repldata\ftp ( for sql server 7.0)

    Upon manual connection to your ftp server you should see a folder named:

    <servername>_<pubdb>_<pubname>

    Good luck
