I installed drake
via veloce.php , the extracted files belong to : wwwrun(user) www(group)
When I upload files via FTP,
then they belong to my group: siedlerchr(user)
psacln(group)
Why is there a difference and why can I
not move a file which belongs to me to the drake folder (wwwrun /
www) ?
My other problem is: I cannot upload any
kind of archive (tar.gz , .zip), I always get an error.
My hoster can do this, even if he logs in with my account!
So, I don't understand, why I couldn't do this!?
€dit:// Archives over 100Kilobytes do not work, under it
works.
Hope you can help me!

The user/group problem between PHP-created files and FTP-created
files is well known; there are solutions, but not all hosts do
offer them.
About the archive filesize constraint: you
could split the archive into multiple volumes under 100k - or
hack PHPTarBackup to do that for you

What could be a solution? If it is easy to
realize, I could ask my hoster...
The funny thing is
that in my group (siedlerchr psalcn) I cannot do anything with
the webadmin.php script, but If I change to the drake folder (php
created, in [wwwrun www]) I can do anything (upload/delete/rename
etc...).

It is only
the problem when I upload files via FileZilla from my PC, there
it is not working.
When I go http://netftp.de and
login there with my ftp account, I can upload a big archive
without problems. So, I don't understand why it is not
working with FileZilla (tested version 2.24 and 3.03)

Unfortunately
things are changing so fast that I no more have a snapshot of the
hosts situation around during these days. You could read around
the web about suexec hosts, I think those are the most
consistent, secure and fully-featured

This is an issue that your host
provider should fix

It's not FileZilla or any other FTP client. It's your host
provider that setup that limit; ask them the reason.
Very strange...
Edit: when it works, it works because
you uploaded them through their web interface (HTTP not FTP!)

The upload limit in the FTP is set to 50MB, my hoster has
checked this. I've got only problems uploading archives, the
FTP Server is the following one: ProFTPD 1.3.0 Server
(ProFTPD)
Does anybody know if there is a option about
the max filesize of archives?

No FTP client has such option as far as I know. There is no
purpose at limiting the size of what you can upload from the
client side.
The server might instead want to limit
the size of your uploaded archives via FTP because they might
fear that you offer direct links for mass download over the
internet (think about piracy, for example).
Be sure to
have read the TOS of your provider regarding this
