The Upload Blues

I'm trying to upload a file but it's been trying for a very long time. The log just keeps cycling the same lines over and over below. Who is understand the commands, SmartFTP or the server?

Hello ..

The server basically tells SmartFTP there is no such file on the server. Therefore SmartFTP uploads it again and again. Please post the full log from the FTP server.

SmartFTP

Well I can never give you the full log because it goes on and on for as long as I leave it but here's eight minutes worth of cycles...

What version of SmartFTP do you have installed? Please post the system information from the menu: Help->About dialog.

Thanks.
