More info on your system and settings, etc. would be helpful.

You could use scp to transfer your files. If transferring from Windows, look for WinSCP. You could also try using rsync. Then it might also be possible to use sftp.

examples:

scp somefiles rdog157h@10.0.0.4:~/uploads
scp *.tgz rdog157h@htp://MyHost.net:~/uploads

are you logged in as the su?? also make sure if your uploading a file that has multiple contents that your tar it and gzip it.

ex: tar cvf filename.tar filename(the original)
ex: gzip filename.tar (this is the one you created above)

Oh, you might not be able to login as root from another location via ftp. Create a regular user account and use that.
