Uploading a website

I have had similar problems with dreamweaver and use CuteFTP to upload files

I've just downloaded CuteFTP, and tried moving my files onto the website, it's telling me this:
553 Can't open that file: Invalid argument
Rename/move failure: No such file or directory

I have no idea why this is happening?

Is it just this file or is it any file you try to upload?
Have you set the ftp file upload protocol to auto i.e. not specifically asci etc?
Have you double checked the username and password?
Can you download via ftp from the site?
Have you read through ftp instructions on your hosts web site - is there anything your missing from your settings?

You don't have FTP permissions set to write files to the server. You need to sort this out with your hosting provider

^ what vanish said -- it's a permissions issue... you need to talk to the person your website is being hosted with, or if you're in school, ask your instructor.

One other thing: Make sure you're attempting to upload to the correct directory on the remote server.

thanks guys. I got hold of the guy who i'm making the website for and he spoke one of his technicians who told him it was a security setting that was preventing me from uploading files. he sorted it and it's now up on the internet... well near enough anyway, having other problems now.
Suppose it's all a learning curve though
