>so whats the procedure i need to follow to upload stuff ?

Simple: find a partition that has enough space on it.

The root partition on your player probably (just guessing here..) has only about 7MB of available space, so your FTP bombs once that space is consumed.

The more useful place to put stuff is on the /drive0 (and/or /drive1 for a 2-drive unit) partition.
