You will want to contact your web host to resolve this problem. Either you have used all of your account's allocated space or there is an issue on the host's end that is causing you to see this error message.

How much space does your hosting plan provide you with?

I haven't been able to upload anything to use all the space. I'm using the web hosting for students site, 1GB disk space.

Definitely contact web hosting for student's support. Sounds like the issue is on their end.

You should contact your hosting support. It is not a FileZilla issue. Its a hosting issue. You are probably on a shared server with too many sites and the disk is full. They should be able to provide a solution otherwise you should look into a new host.
