Problems uploading to htdocs

[snidog]

Hey everyone, I am using Bulletproof FTP to try to upload my site to my new PowWeb server, and when I try to upload a file to the htdocs folder, I get this message:

SIZE /htdocs/admin.php

Make sure you're uploading to the correct directory and try again.

I have been using Bulletproof FTP for years, and I have no problem uploading to any other sites. In fact, I can even upload to the main directory of my PowWeb site; I am just unable to upload to the htdocs directory (you know, the one I NEED).

Did you send this to Technical support? It could be a server or directory tree problem. Let them know too.

Just a note to everyone, Bullet Proof FTP is as good if not better than the other clients mentioned. Ive used it for almost 5 years. It's a great ftp program. Just thought Id put in my 2 cents since it seems obvious that the people commenting on Bullet Proof seem to not used it.


Also, is anyone else having issues with uploads taking extra long to finish? Ive tried to upload files, small and large and everytime it takes a very long time, the speed goes down to about 1k before it finally finishes the download and posts it to the directory. It's not the ftp software because ive tried with several different ones, including windows basic ftp, and it's also not my connection since im on dsl. Any ideas appreciated.

snidog,

Stupid questions:
Do you have passive (PASV) connections enabled?
What are the permissions on your htdocs directory?

Not stupid questions afterall...ceptt for the htdocs permission thing maybe :) Anyway, it was the passive connections, but Ive used all my ftp programs with passive connections with no problems before, seems like it just started up, but I dunno, but that did fix the slow uploads.

Thanks!
