Transformer Won't Copy

When running the transformation scenario to transform a DocBook XML document to HTML, I get an error that says the following:

"Cannot copy /path/tmp123.xslt to /remote_path/file.html"

The transformation works locally, but not remotely. That is to say, when I open an xml document on my laptop and then transform it to HTML, to save on the same laptop, it works just fine. But if I open an xml file on a remote server and then try to save the transformed document to the remote server using oxygen, it fails and gives me the error message described above. I could just work locally and use my FTP client to upload transformed documents, but I'd like to keep the documents on my server.

Incidentally, I posted a related message about changing the FTP default directory from my home directory to another. However, I put a copy of the same xml file in my home directory and then open it and tried to transform it with the HTML document to be saved in my home directory. I had the same error. So, they may be related, but it doesn't look like it to me. Please let me know what y'all think.

Thanks.

Saving transform results on a remote server is an enhancement that we plan to add in a future version. In the current version do the XSLT transform locally and copy the result on the remote server using the Save To URL action available both on the File toolbar and the File menu.

Okay, thanks for the information. Now I can stop getting frustrated trying to make the software do something it hasn't been designed to do yet.
