Help with what? What is the remote system? How are you trying to access the file afterwards?

Giving us just a subject line, a lot of command line output (next time, please use [CODE] tags), and a plea for help isn't telling us anything.

sorry i was in harry and haven't used forums in a while i forgot to use the code tags and i thought posting the output of the command is clear enough explain the situation

What kind of system are you uploading to? And what kind of data? Are the files there if you upload using Filezilla, and then check again later?

The reason I'm asking is that I've seen a similar situation with a vendor, where we would upload invoices, and as soon as the files were finished uploading they "vanished", meaning moved from the upload folder to be processed. Maybe it's a similar situation here.

thanks alot for your replay the files i'm trying to upload are mainly backup files compressed as .tar.bz2 and encrypted with GNUPG. but i tried with many other files. the problem is that when i upload using CURL it reports a successful operation while there is no files actually uploaded to the server no matter what kind of files i try to upload while File-zilla actually upload the same files curl claims to have uploaded successfully while it didn't actually. it's very strange like the FTP server uses something similar user agent in HTTP protocol to deny files uploaded by CURL.

FTP doesn't have any banners (they're even optional in HTTP). My first impulse would be to upload a very small file for testing, and capture that transfer with tcpdump to see if anything goes wrong.
