 * I attempted to update my Updraft Plus plug-in to the latest version from version
   1.16.69 and I received the following message:
 * Update Failed: Could not copy file. updraftplus/includes/blockui/jquery.blockUI.
   js
 * Just prior to trying to update the plugin, I ran a back-up with my existing version
   of Update Plus and it worked fine. I have plenty of space on my website with 
   my hosting company.
 * Any suggestions as to what is causing the error message.
 * Thanks
    Dale

 * Hi Dale,
 * That sort of pattern, of WordPress failing to copy one of the files mid-update,
   is almost always caused by a lack of disk space or web hosting account quota.
   How much space do you have?
 * If it’s not that, you’d have to ask your web hosting company why the files fail
   to copy. When WordPress updates a plugin, all it does is download the plugin 
   zip file, and unzip it, and copy the files into place.

 * Thanks David – My web hosting company solved the problem. Although I had lots
   of disk space on my site, I was near the limit of my Permitted number of files.
   Once I cleared out some old WordPress files, the number of files was reduced 
   and I have adequate room now to install my plug-in updates.
    I really appreciate
   your assistance. Dale
