Can't upload to webspace

25-09-2003, 18:24

Hi there,

I'm trying to upload a file to my ntlworld webspace, but every time I do WSFTP LE reports:

! Send error: connection aborted
Transmitted 30208 bytes in 1.1 seconds (265.77), transfer failed
451 transfer aborted. Insufficient memory or file locked.

Can anyone help or suggest how to fix this?

Cheers,
Graham.

what address you trying to upload to?

should be ftp://username:password@upload.ntlworld.com

Password must be the orginal one that you registered with

a few possibilities - your webspace is paped (pm me your details, and ill check the status of it for you), your firewall is getting in the way, you do not have admin privelages on your pc (thats a longshot), you webspace is full or your ftp client cant cope with those files.
try disabaling your firewall, and uploading through internet explorer

I'll PM you the details, but as for the last two suggestions, only after *everything* else has failed!!

Try THIS little application.

Last week it was the only way to get anything on my webspace.
(it's free)

ah thank you. I've been having problems too and so watching this thread with anticipation of a decent solution.

fiddlesticks.

I still can't upload even with that programme.

Seems to be an error somewhere

I used to have problems myself uploading to the ruddy thing. I tried a few different apps including two of the best flashfxp and smartftp. In the end the best thing which worked too of course was Internet Explorer

sheep · 25-09-2003, 21:36

internet explorer isn't working for me at the moment though.

Are you by chance using a 4000 type Set Top Box?

I have been told that they can cause problems which is most likely why I too am suffering the same problem.

Paul K · 26-09-2003, 11:23

Just swapped out a 4000 series but for connection issues (upload dying at least once a day) was able to upload files if I power-cycled the STB to get it to lock back onto the network.
Uploads are working at the mo though, my latest uploaded file

Well I've managed to get it to work with IE, but I don't consider that an ideal situation when everywhere else I want to upload to works fine with WS FTP

Umm, it has to be your client thats sulking, if you upload with IE it cant be - umm....unlikley

- to be an ntl fault.

as for what, ill hold my hands up and admit ive no idea...

i might be talking a load of BS so please excuse me but might it not be a winsock file problem

I can upload perfectly well to my business webspace and even my old Virgin Net space, it's only the ntl one that's giving problems.
