I am unable to upload any files from FileZilla to my Amazon EC2 instance (running a m4.large instance). Its throwing the error " received failure with description 'Failure' ". Also noticed that my webapps which used to run on this instance are not working anymore.

I have enough disk space on this server; anyone can throw some light on why this is happening ?

I haven't experienced such error with any of my instances; however, I found this post that may help shed some light.

Also, have you tried uploading it with SCP? Try that and see if you receive the same error; I'm curious to know if this is related to SFTP and FileZilla.

scp local_file user@remote_host:remote_file

If you're using an SSH key to authenticate on the instance, you'll need to use the -i argument along with the key name.

scp -i pem_file_name local_file user@remote_host:remote_file

Hope this helps!

  • I encountered the same error and it is due to the server running out of space. I found the solution at [question](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4206707/filezilla-error-while-writing-failure#comment4549004_4206707) – Vinod S Pattar Feb 09 '22 at 13:21
