I know this has been a problem before,
for example: viewtopic.php?t=22291
BUT (!) it is not a server side issue...
I know this cause I walked over to my other machine and, using Filezilla, I could upload to the same website, using the same ftp username and pass....
any help would be great
sure, I can use my other machine...
but I need to know what's happening
any thoughts?

cannot upload all of a sudden, file gets overwritten and remains 0 bytes

Re: cannot upload all of a sudden, file gets overwritten and remains 0 bytes
having restarted Filezilla, I started an upload afresh, without ticking the "do the same at every upload" (overwrite)
now it's clear that when uploading a file that doesn't exist on the server, the upload will stop at a point,
and ask for permission to overwrite the file that has been uploaded but being 0 bytes...
and it will start over, entering a LOOP...
oh, and one more thing:
why I use "all of a sudden" is because I had been using it all day... and all of a sudden it started... and from then on I couldn't upload anymore....

NOTE: this is very similar to that topic's OP: viewtopic.php?t=22291
it is, however, a good idea to post it, cause now we know that it is NOT a server side issue, nor is it a Filezilla problem

Re: cannot upload all of a sudden, file gets overwritten and remains 0 bytes
Too bad the server doesn't tell us which error it encountered.
Based on symptoms, I wonder if the server is majorly confused, talking about the data connection when the actual problem is writing to the file. What happens if you delete a large file prior to uploading?
