I have had the same problem as Carbonize since WordPress started offering automatic updates. I have had success perhaps twice. I do delete the upgrade folder but this doesn't always seem to matter.

 

This time I got the following error message and I know another TCH customer has had the same message:

 

Downloading update from http://wordpress.org/wordpress-3.0.1.zip…

 

Unpacking the update…

 

Verifying the unpacked files…

 

Installing the latest version…

 

Could not copy file.: /public_html/wp-admin/css/theme-editor.dev.css

 

Installation Failed

 

I have pretty much opted for updating manually from now on as this method gives me far less headaches. This time - I was able to update a theme and one plugin automatically but I had to update one plugin manually. It really is 'hit and miss'.

Are you using your cPanel login credentials for the FTP user/password? Try that. If you are already doing that check with the help desk because it's been working for me when before I was getting the same results as you are.

Hi Bruce,

 

Yes, I do use my cPanel username and password and I have always done that. I remember contacting the Help Desk about this problem quite some time ago now - I would have to look at the history but I don't think it was ever really resolved. I have 2 blogs - one is a test blog - they do reside on 2 different servers.

 

I thought you always updated your blogs using the manual method?
