This sounds like an issue to ask your Web host, Sonya. It'll be very hard for us to figure out what the problem is, but your Web host may have the answer.

Normally you edit a document before uploading it. Rewriting it while on the server (like on this forum) requires special solutions.

Yeah, exactly how are you trying to edit the document? Edit a copy in notepad and upload it with FileZilla and let it overwrite the old copy? Or through some kind of file manager on the server?
