Upload Image with FTP in Codeigniter

I am assuming with the above line that you are trying to upload image on server.

You are getting the issue because you are passing the path of your local system directory $config['upload_path'] = 'C:/img/'; which is not exist on server. So change it to something like

 $config['upload_path'] = APPPATH . 'img';

Where img should be a folder on your server.

NOTE : it is always recommended to use upload path inside of your project folder. not to a local system directory
