1.) Make sure you’re using SFTP and <b>not</b> FTP; and <br> <br>2.) Make sure the user that you log in as has <code>write</code> privileges on the folder you’re trying to upload to.

Thank you for your reply. Infact, i can upload a new file ( with a big file, it will return 451 error ), delete or something like that : upload a new file and then overwrite that one. i mean i can not overwrite a file if that one didn’t uploaded by ftp. <br>Now i have to download a file to local, change it, remove his clone on server then upload. <br>“Chown - R user:user file” was used. <br>“Chmod -R 777 file” was used.
