Firstly, what is the filesystem that you're using, and the operating system. Windows filesystems are very limiting on what characters you can use. If you have it working with another file, have you tried renaming that to use characters which you think are causing the problems? Lastly, what exactly is the error code returned from the $_FILES array? Thanks, Ash http://www.ashleysheridan.co.uk

What happens when you upload a normal small file now with non-Greek characters and see what happens? Does that upload correctly? Output the $_FILES array and look to see if the error code is anything other than 0. If it is, that means there's a problem with the upload, which probably won't show on the server log.
