I have come across a very unusual problem. I am working on a website at the moment and whenever I upload a file to the server, it becomes a 0kb file. I have changed ftp software to filezilla to see would this help and it hasn't. I have compared it to other sites I am working on the permissions are the same numbers 0644 but on the site that I am having the trouble with the permissions have the prefix- flcdmpe(0644). Would this be the problem and if so any ideas how to change it?, changing the permissions doesn't work. I have been onto the host company and they cannot figure it out at all. Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers Emma

Have you reached your quota? Do you see any errors in your FTP client? Could be an active/passive mode FTP issue?

Try switching to sftp instead of just ftp and see if that fixes your issue.

Thanks for the reply, using sftp doesn't even connect. The same problem has started now on another site and I'm still baffled. Cheers anyway – Anonymous Jul 28 '10 at 22:00
