Everytime I try to update my site via FTP, it seems to fail. My client (WS_FTP Pro) starts uploading, but then after a few small files, it quits when it hits a larger file. It gets about 500 kb of the larger file uploaded, then reports error 550. This has happened to me before, but after 10 to 20 tries, I could usually get my stuff uploaded. But no longer, now it fails every single time. I'm open to using other methods to update my site, but I've always had the impression that FTP is the "easiest". Here's some of the gibberish from the FTP client if it helps... Code: Starting request TYPE I 200 Type set to I. PASV 227 Entering Passive Mode (96,31,43,132,19,236). connecting data channel to 96.31.43.132:19,236(5100) data channel connected to 96.31.43.132:19,236(5100) STOR AjaxControlToolkit.dll 125 Data connection already open; Transfer starting. hResRead: 0, hResWrite:a0310036 Error reading response from server. transferred 487424 bytes in 112.847 seconds, 33.745 Kbps ( 4.218 Kbps), transfer failed.

I had stopped the site already. I think the problem may have been my FTP client - I just now tried with FileZilla and and it worked fine (much faster than usual in fact). So I think my problem is solved.
