  This looks like a server issue but my service provider has not been able to resolve it so perhaps you can help me steer them in the right direction...

  Lately, (last month or so) when I try to overwrite an existing filename on my server, I get this (from the Transcript) and have to manually delete the file from the server before I can upload the new version. I never saw this before.

  Fetch could not put “returning.html” because the FTP server encountered an error accessing a file or folder. (If you entered a file name, folder name, or URL, check that it is correct.

  Any idea what made this start??

  It could be that a configuration change was made on the server to disallow overwriting files.

  There have been other reports of this problem with Dreamhost. Is Dreamhost your service provider?

  Thanks,

  Jim,

  That's what I suspected. I don't have Dreamhost but my small provider is notorious for making system changes that break things for their resellers.

  In any event, a more competent person took over support from the weekend guy and had it resolved in 2 minutes. Unfortunately, I can't get any info from him as to what was causing it.

  Thanks for the reply!
