old remote file could not be deleted

I'm trying to load a 350K swf file to a remote server using Dreamweaver, system
Mac 10.4. The file appears to go, then repeats itself, sends again. Then the
message comes up that the file cannot be deleted. And does not transfer. But
when you view the remote directory or folder, the swf file does not appear in
the remote folder or directory.
The file "htdocs/assets/swf/stpaul.swf" was skipped because the old remote
file could not be deleted.
Frustrating, the swf movie prieviews and works in Dreamweaver and Flash yet
cannot transfer to the remote server?? any ideas. I've tried to transfer from
two different computers. Still no luck.
thanks

I have had these issues before they just solved themselves eventually. Why this
happends? I have no idea.

Try another FTP program or use the hosting services Control Panel to remove
the file. Or ask hosting service to do it.
