thanks for the response, yes, i realized this is not drupal after i sent it. while the problem affected all files and directories at the time, unfortunately the problem is intermittent, so i am crossing my fingers for now since it hasn't repeated.

can you or anyone recc a good irc help channel for general non-drupal problems? or maybe a directory of irc channels i can be aware of?

That's not really a drupal issue, but could you add some clarity? Is sftp the only option you have for uploading? Can you upload other files, and if so can you upload those files to that directory? What if you rename another file to the same name as pathauto and try uploading it? In the long run I'm pretty sure you'll find that it's either a problem on your end or on your host's end. oh - and try restarting your computer. never hurts.

i have tried two different sftp clients, cyberduck and fugu, but the file i am trying to upload keeps stopping after 15 k. i've tried trashing preferences, restarting, etc. for some reason that file does not want to make it to the server, and it is kebonkering my drupal install bc it is pathauto. ideas? thanks
