Completely new to FTP and stuck !

OK , please dont blind me with science and jargon cos i'm completely new to the whole idea of FTP.

I'm in the process of trying to start a Netlabel ( online archive of electronica tracks submitted by myself and some others at a forum ive made )

AudioArchive have given me an address where there is a file for me to upload the tracks to.
I've went into Smart FTP and right-clicked on that folder name and selected the file to upload , but it keeps saying " transfer failed ".
I havent the foggiest notion of what to do.

Can someone please help me out as im a complete ftp noob !!!

can someone tell me why the transfer is failing ???

Hi, easy answer:

553 Prohibited file name: blue eye black sheep dark horse remix.mp3

It can be because the spaces on the file name.
