problem uploading a .php file

Posted: Sat Mar 17, 2007 12:01 pm

i recently tried to upload a .php file onto my server using CoffeCup free FTP, well i ran into a problem. everytime i upload a .php file, it uploads as a blank document and doesn't even read as a file size. i disconnected, reconnected and tried again with the same result. i even restarted the program and i still had the same result.

Try another ftp client. If you are still having problems let us know.

t_henson, I have been using FileZilla at home and work now for over a year without a single problem. And, its free...

Try SmartFtp or FileZilla.

Filezilla seems to work well. And is simple to use.

Sometimes, it isn't obvious in your ftp client that you've run out of space on your server. Sometimes you think you have tons of space and you don't because your host has a screw loose. So, check for file space too.

Or maybe the destination directory is read only....?
