Hmm, which FTP client were you using to do that file upload?
Also, what is the full error message you're seeing when you attempt to do an upload? Does your FTP client say anything in addition to "Critical File error"?
in permissions it shows as chmod normal permissions and the other owner/group permission set as - root/root
Ahh, that could certainly be the issue. Did you by chance perform the Wordpress installation as the root user? That means that all the Wordpress files and directories would be owned as root, which would unfortunately prevent the Virtual Server owner from making any changes to those dirs or files.
So the key would be to reset the permissions on your Wordpress files and dirs so that they're owned by the Virtual Server owner.

how can I work so that I will be able to upload files with out probs

I had deleted all the files and uploaded now personally via ftp and it works now and the permission is set to the domain user
so may be svn r ssh installation would throw the above error :o
thanks for the suggestion Eric
