FTP and Files Problem...

[DizzyTechnology]

It is impossible to remove or edit files on the free server. In an FTP client like SmartFTP, I am given a permission denied message. I try and CHMOD it, but it tell me there's a bad file descriptor.

In cPanel file manager, files are told to be deleted ("folder -> Trash") but do not disappear "folder" is still in list.

Does anybody have any ideas; I really need to work with some files.

I had the same problem with a few files: Just download a copy, delete the one on the server and reupload it. After it is reuploaded you should have no problem CHMODing or editing the file.

Try FileZilla. I can CHMOD on it fine.

 

[DizzyTechnology]

Oh, I forgot: trying to chmod in cPanel results in [a fatal error has occured while processing this directive]. I'll try FileZilla, though.

EDIT: FileZilla produces a "Directory is not empty" error.

It's not the FTP client, it's something with the file. FTP clients don't generate totally artibtrary errors for no reason . Did you try what I suggested before?

 

[DizzyTechnology]

Yeah, I did. It wouldn't replace.

Note that it is both in cPanel and FTP. CHMODding doesn't work, nor does downloading and uploading files work.

FTP gives either a "Permission denied" or "Folder not empty" error with my default FTP (main account, cPanel name zacwal) account.

BUMP, It's all files, by the way.

Could you tell me what type of files you are trying to upload/download etc? and how many?

 

[DizzyTechnology]

None. I'm trying to delete folders consisting of PHP, XML, and PNG files. As of now FTP does not connect at all, but I was expecting that.

Aftwerwards I would try and upload zip files, not working either.

I believe this will resolve itself when all server kinks are worked out.

Here I can't access my FTP, perhaps that's the problem to you also.

 

[Colin]

Last time I checked FTP was down, so this could be your problem. If you wait till all the server stuff is worked out and try again it will probably work. If not post.

 

[DizzyTechnology]

Yeah, I thought that too.
