My problem is that my FTP work great, except when I upload files on a particular client server!

On this server it happens that some files are uploaded fine and others not. They stop halfway through the upload, then this error is displayed:

530 Sorry, the maximum number of clients (4) from your host are already connected. Unable to make a connection. Please try again.

Obviously this is not true, I'm the only one that is uploading!

Anyone had the same experience with this? I have tried many different FTP clients; they all display the same error or just hang up.

It's possible for a single ftp client to open multiple connections to a server, even though it looks like one to you, there might be multiple connections between your host and the server.

In a program like filezilla you can select File -> Site Manager On the Transfer Settings tab, set the Limit number of simultaneous connections field to, in your case, less than 4.
