Sure.  Two months ago I reported the same problem on this list
in the message <address@hidden>.  I'll duplicate it here.

After copying a file from local file system to ftp server using dired
copy command, Emacs signals an error and displays the ftp buffer.
The file is copied correctly, but when dired tries to update the
ftp dired buffer, it uses the copied file name as a directory name,
and FTP server returns an error.

Below is all relevant information:

_Buffer *ftp address@hidden:
ftp> put /home/user/emacs/testfile /tmp/testfile
200 PORT command successful
150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for /tmp/testfile
