Everytime I try to upload a file to my phpbb in my ftp I get this message.

"The filename provided is not being accepted by the server. Check for invalid characters and try again. Click Details>> to see the exact server response."

and I can't even change the image of my forum! Please help.

I can download it but when I re-upload it even without making any changes I still get this message

STATUS:> An identical file already exists on the remote site.
STATUS:> Applying Smart Overwrite rule: prompting.
COMMAND:> PASV
227 Entering Passive Mode
COMMAND:> STOR overall_header.tpl
STATUS:> Connecting FTP data socket
553 Rename/move failure: Permission denied
ERROR:> Access denied.

Its actually a file from one of my phpbb forums. I have an other phpbb forum and I can upload files in there with no problems. Its killing me, I need to edit my forum so I can ad my adsense, I'm losing money and I can't change the logo on it. The company I bought a dating scrpit from installed it for me and they are not helping :(

check the ftp account acces right, or maybe create a new ftp account with full rights

Could it be a chmod issue? Make sure the file allows you to overwrite it, ie; 666 or 777.

Check if it has spaces. Some hosts dont allow filenames with spaces...

the file is probably chown'd to user: nobody. Contact your host, and ask them to change the permissions on the file so that the file belongs to your user account.
