This is a known problem, we hope with the new path handling, witch is comming 
up with
0.0.7, this will be history, feel free to test again when 0.0.7 is released.

This is rude, but please use a ftp client known to work with ftpii.
There is a list on http://www.wiibrew.org/wiki/Homebrew_apps/FTPii

Hi James,

Thanks for the report.  This is indeed the correct place to raise issues 
regarding
client compatibility.  The list at 
http://www.wiibrew.org/wiki/Homebrew_apps/FTPii is
not regularly updated when new versions of ftpii are released, does not 
generally
provide developers with enough information to be able to reproduce or fix a 
problem,
and is usually just misleading. You are much better off using the issue tracker.

Clients "known not to work" with ftpii equate to bugs in our software (or very 
buggy
clients...), and issues should be raised here.

Having said that, I see that the same problem you are having is also listed at
http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Homebrew_apps/FTPii, so either someone is having the 
same
problem as you, or you added the problem there too ;-)

I have been developing almost solely using the OS X command-line ftp client, 
and have
never seen the problem you describe.  If there is a "client known to work with
ftpii", this is it.  (Unfortunately, I am not sure how to figure out what 
version of
ftp(1) I am actually using or I would post it here...all the usual suspects 
like ftp
-v, ftp -h, ftp --version do not seem to work).

I assume this is the client you are referring to?  Your step 2:

"2. Connect with Terminal (open IP)"

is slightly confusing, but I think you mean the Shell -> New Remote 
Connection...
window (at least, that's how you get there in Leopard, or just type "ftp 
ip.address"
in the Terminal...

I am interested to hear more about your issue.  Perhaps Daniel knows something I
don't, but if this is a known problem I have no idea how to reproduce it.

What version(s) of ftpii have the problem?
Are you using SD-card or USB?
Is your filesystem FAT16 or FAT32?
What directory are you changing to?
What is the output of the "ls" command in the FTP client, in this directory?
What is the output of the "quote pwd" command in the FTP client?
What is the name and size of the file you are trying to upload?

(A copy/paste of the ftp session would answer most of these questions)

It is possible that the changes we have made to 0.0.7 (should be released in a 
few
hours) will fix this problem by accident, please let us know!

Setting this to Priority-Low for now because there is not enough information to
investigate, and it Works For Me.

Ta,
Joe

Furthermore, here is the output of your test case for me, using 0.0.6:

Sorry. Before I posted that bug on the wiki, it said that Terminal DID work. I 
was wondering if I was doing 
something wrong. Glad to know it's not just me. Am now using Fetch 5.3 and it 
works fine (added that to the 
wiki too).

Your Q's:
Using FTPii 0.0.6, SD card,
I'm not sure but I think FAT16,
All directories, 
It correctly displays the contents of all directories and furthermore is able 
to make new ones using "mkdir"
It gives that error with all files I try to upload into any directory. 

Will try and post a full log after work, depending on time. Mine is actually 
different than joe's.

Unable to reproduce.  If there was an issue, it has likely been fixed since.
