I am attempting to get my store online and all goes well right to the end where an error message stops everything. It reads error uploading /shop/project_files/bargainsinabox.scc ,what is this referring to, and can it be fixed with out starting over from scratch?

Try re-saving your shop then closing the software then open it again and publish.

while using filezilla in an attempt to get something up and running I noticed that it had the same issue. It is saying that this file type is not allowed. I believe that this is the file that allows me to monitor the back end of my store though. Is there anyway to get around this or should i change hosting providers.

If you let us know who your hosting provider is we may be able to work out if its adequate for SCC
