Ftp upload problems.. connects but denies permission to upload

[BNash]

i used dreamweaver to make my site and put in all of the remote info for ftp upload. it allows me to connect to the gdi hosting site but when i try to upload my files, and error message pops up and tells me that permission is denied. i've been using dreamweaver for years with several different hosting companies and never had this problem.  is there a certain period that you have to wait when you activate the hosting service with gdi til it will let you upload files??  please help!!!

I had a similar problem when I was also connected to my ISP via Thunderbird email client. CuteFTP connected but would not do the upload.

It also happened the other way around. I was in CuteFTP and connected to GDI doing some updates to my site and I tried to download mail from my ISP in Thunderbird and the ISP  wouldn't verify my email details.

If you are using Thunderbird, Outlook or any other local email client, make sure it is closed down before you try your FTP again.

Not saying this is the only cause, but it certainly had an effect for me.
