filezilla, error while writing failure

I'm transferring a very large (35GB) file through SFTP and FileZilla.

Now the transfer is 59.7% done, but I keep getting this error, and it hasn't changed that number for hours.

Error:     File transfer failed after transferring 1,048,576 bytes in 10 seconds
Status:    Starting upload of C:\Files\static.sql.gz
Status:    Retrieving directory listing...
Command:   ls
Status:    Listing directory /var/www/vhosts/site/httpdocs
Command:   reput "C:\Files\static.sql.gz" "static.sql.gz"
Status:    reput: restarting at file position 20450758656
Status:    local:C:\Files\static.sql.gz => remote:/var/www/vhosts/site/httpdocs/static.sql.gz
Error:     error while writing: failure

Why do I keep getting this error?

filezilla, error while writing: failure issue occurred when server storage is full. Login in Linux server and Kindly run below two commands to find out which files are consuming max storage in /var/log recursively..

for MB Size:

sudo du -csh $(sudo find /var/log -type f) |grep M|sort -nr

For GB size:

sudo du -csh $(sudo find /var/log -type f) |grep G|sort -nr

In our case it was because the file exceeded the user's quota. We use Virtualmin and the virtual server had a default quota of just 1GB. Increasing that value in Virtualmin solved the problem.

This happened when I tried to replace the file which was already open or running in the background. Once closed, I was able to overwrite the file.

Recently faced this issue, Turned out to be the disk space issue. Removed some old logs, specially mysqld.log file which was in GBs. It worked after that.
