Doubtful. Server rules allot us 200MB/account. Yes, it's small, but I know mine is not full.

Why would this suddenly happen? I've created directories before; it just won't let me create .ssh for whatever reason.

Does this mean their server is having a problem?

Also when I ftp'd to my account I tried to mkdir .ssh but it said
Code:
550 Make directory operation failed.

Thanks for the help, but I seem to have hit a brick wall.
Well, there are so many variables.. I'd have to look in the server Smilie

Here's one thing you can try: do you know anyone who can log into the school's server using ssh? Ask that person to log into the server, then you can su to your account, and see if you can move around, create files and folders in your home directory, etc.

Afraid I don't know anyone else to ask. Are there any such test services or (and I know this is probably unheard of) free shell accounts? Just some way to test if the problem is on my end or not? I mean what other options do I have if I want to get ssh working properly?
