An FTP error occurred

Need help with FTP size quota

[coop66]

Ok, I was trying to load my friend's movie trailor onto my website. It worked great in the preview&debug.
When I tried to "put" my page i got this:

An FTP error occurred - cannot put THE MESSAGE TRAILOR.wvx
452-Maximum disk quota limited to 20480 Kbytes

What does that mean? I own 100MB of disk space for my website. I only have 20MB used thus far. and the movies is 8MB. Why won't it let me add it? Why has my FTP Host limited me to that amount? Is there a way for me to change it? Or am I pretty much screwed and not going to make some money for hosting a movie trailor?

I hope someone can help me!

It's possible your webhost set your maximum size incorrectly.

With that said, server logs, email stored on the server, and everything else can count against your total available server space. If you have 50MB of web logs and 30MB of spam, you're done.

I would simply call your host tomorrow and ask for their help.

Leave a host like that, if it only gives you such little, choose another.:)
