k. first off, if the server is installed locally on your computer, you should not be bothering with FTP, you can save directly to the folder on your local disk.

in regards to the upload script, without seeing it, we cant really make any guesses.

Yes we need much more info to be able to try and help.

As Dan said, what is the purpose of using an ftp client to upload files to your LOCAL? server?? Unless you didn't explain it correctly. Are you indeed uploading files to a remote server as well?

A LAMP server(that you installed on your machine) is for testing files locally while you are in development stage. In DW, you can define your local server where all your web pages will be saved as well as your remote server: this would be used to define your ftp connection.

Hey guys thanks for your help so far. Yea i guess i sort of mis-explained my situation. It is a remote server. I just have the server here in my house as opposed to using a hosting service. Here is the upload script that caused all the problems i think.
here is my upload.html

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>

<body>
<html>
<head>
<title>File Upload</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="upload.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" />
	<div>
	  Choose a file to upload: <br />
	  <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="26214400"/>
	  <input type="file" name="userfile" id="userfile" size="50" />
	  <br />
	  <input type="submit" value="Upload File" />
	</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>

</body>
</html>

and upload.php

Code:

<html>
<head>
  <title>Uploading...</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Uploading file...</h1>
<?php

//Check to see if an error code was generated on the upload attempt
  if ($_FILES['userfile']['error'] > 0)
  {
    echo 'Problem: ';
    switch ($_FILES['userfile']['error'])
    {
      case 1:	echo 'File exceeded upload_max_filesize';
	  			break;
      case 2:	echo 'File exceeded max_file_size';
	  			break;
      case 3:	echo 'File only partially uploaded';
	  			break;
      case 4:	echo 'No file uploaded';
	  			break;
      case 6:   echo 'Cannot upload file: No temp directory specified.';
	  			break;
      case 7:   echo 'Upload failed: Cannot write to disk.';
	  			break;
    }
    exit;
  }

  // put the file where we'd like it
  $upfile = '/var/www/myfiles/'.$_FILES['userfile']['name'];

  if (is_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'])) 
  {
     if (!move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $upfile))
     {
        echo 'Problem: Could not move file to destination directory';
        exit;
     }
  } 
  else 
  {
    echo 'Problem: Possible file upload attack. Filename: ';
    echo $_FILES['userfile']['name'];
    exit;
  }

  echo 'File uploaded successfully<br><br>'; 

?>
<ul>
	<li>Sent: <?php echo $_FILES['userfile']['name']; ?> </li>
	<li>Size: <?php echo $_FILES['userfile']['size']; ?> </li>
	<li>Type: <?php echo $_FILES['userfile']['type']; ?> </li>
</ul>
	<a href="<?php echo "/var/www/myfiles/".$_FILES['userfile']['name']; ?>">
		Click here to view this file</a>

</body>
</html>

Thanks again and I hope you will bare with me until I figure this one out.
