.mdb ftp upload problem

Hi guys

I have a problem when uploading an .mdb file via ftp to my web space.
I get a high upload speed when I transfer any other file type but when i try to upload my access database it never reaches above 1kbps and even disconnects every few minutes.

I have even made copies of the original database and tried that but it is the same problem. any ideas? The file is only 4.8meg.

I really need to update my website but cannot because i cant upload my database!

Any help appreciated
Thanks
Mark

I have been in contact with 1and1 and all they seem to say is get another FTP as there shouldn't be a problem which isn't much help becasue there is a problem

I have found this wepage that seems to be the same problem as I'm getting:

although my web site at the moment only has one page with no db connections! Could there be a problem with my localhost connecting as i have tried to upload the sam db to another web site with a different host and encountered the same problem.

I'm sure there is a simple explanation but the words needle and haystack come to mind!

Thanks in advance!

I think the answer to your questions is right there in your first paragraph. I'm yet to ever hear a good word about this host, and if you want to use any of the software from this site you would need to change web hosts anyway.

Well obviously as we are a web hosting company we would suggest ourselves 

But if you search around Google there are plenty of web hosts out there with good reputations.
