Can not upload certain files to webspace

[Comfortably Num]

This is a weird one and I have tried loads of things to try and resolve this problem but all to no avail I only use my web space for pics and very small files but recently I can't upload .jpg or .gif files. I just get the error jpg or gif not understood. Something has obviously changed because I already have some of these files on my webspace. I can post exe and zip files so I am totally stumped for an answer to this.

So you can still upload most other file types, but not jpg/gif files? Odd


What software are you using to FTP to your webspace?


Also....do you have a software firewall at all? May sound a silly question, but I've seen posts from people having webspace FTP problems due to using Zone Alarm 5...

I have tried TerrapinFTP ,IE and Mozilla Firefox FTP but all come back same error. I have a router/firewall with both ports 21 and 80 forwarded too ??

I used to get that, had to use IE and still do i think

It used to give a error saying file locked or something

have you tried it without the port forwarding, but enabling upnp ?

I found a recent router firmware upgrade disabled upnp, by default, I had loads of problems till I went back to an earlier firmware, with upnp enabled (and dhcp fixed) - is it a Linksys router 'Num ?
