Uploading fails at last minute

Post by Martin »

I connected to my site and saw all the existing files that had been put there by another machine.
I tried to upload an updated index.html file, and was correctly asked if I wished to overwrite the old one: I clicked "overwrite". All seemed fine – there was a “file transferred successfully” message and the indicated file size changed as expected.

However, in reality it hadn't uploaded the new file. I tried again, and spotted that the log file also said:
550 Unable to stat()

Is this error 550?
What does function stat() do? (no, it isn't "start")
How do I solve this problem?

In general, is there a list of error messages somewhere with guidance on what to do when they appear?

TIA
Martin
