NTL FTP problems (ftp error 451)
 

Hi there,

On behalf of my sister am trying to find out why she cannot FTP to her NTL webspace.

I have been using NTL for a number of years now and consider myself a seasoned user but this is driving me nuts.

I set up my sisters NTL but have very little luck with the FTP. The login and passwords are correct as I can log into the ftp site with a number of different FTP programs.
I have even uploaded a small file there. However if I attempt to upload a larger file I recieve the error

451 Transfer aborted. Insufficient memory or file locked.

I have been on the phone to NTL for what must amount to about 4 hours trying to sort the problem out. They have reset the webspace and at the end of numerous phonecalls they resigned and said its not their problem and pretty much cut me off. The phone calls alone have cost my sister about £6 and we've had no resolution.

I can't think what can be wrong, I can upload small files but not larger ones.

I am ftping from my sisters NTL account to her NTLWebspace...

any advice will be warmly welcome.

Firstly,how big is the file in question.
And are you attempting this from an NTL connection.

the size of file is not an exact science, but i uploaded a 49k file ok.

anything larger (say 60k) then i get the error. smaller ones fail too.

yes I am uploading from her NTL account (ntl modem) to her ntlwebspace.

Maybe turn passive mode off or on,what ever setting you have
also move the file to another directory and try to upload from there.
