some files not opening properly on hosting server awardspace

Question

Hi, I've uploaded files for my website from my home test server to my hosting account on awardspace. It is weird that some pictures work when directlinking but others don't and I don't get why

It are jpg files, and it's in a particular folder /images and even weirder is that with some jpg files in that folder direct linking works, but with other jpgs it doesn't. I get an 403 error, while the file is there. I can see it with filezilla....

So what is wrong? on the home test server direct linking works.

EDIT: I'm guessing it has something to do with their forbidden words list. Although it's odd as pictures do not contain text?! I certainly hope they don't enforce the list on a paid hosting account as I already ordered one...

Hi,

I have been using Awardspace very recently, and used core-ftp lite ftp program to easily change permissions to read, write and execute.

It all works fine with me.
