Error Message
Could not write to the local file
Other Information
When I want to upload the site, the names of the folders and files are created, but they appear empty (0k).
are you using an ftp app like filezilla (recommended)
for free hosting you’ll find that any files larger than 10MB will be automatically deleted
also make sure youre uploading to the htdocs directory (the website root) otherwise the files will be automatically deleted

Seems that you are using OneDrive for those files
There might be something in OneDrive that only retrieve the file names, and only downloads them when you open it.
See this: Save disk space with OneDrive Files On-Demand for Windows - Microsoft Support
I recommend you to copy all files in OneDrive to a local folder, and upload it from the folder to InfinityFree. This may solve the empty files error
As for the “Could not write to local file”, I dont know what’s that error, sorry.

I don’t see this below in OP log (only in the screenshot)
Response: 451 Failure writing to local file
but if it really exists then these are some of the reasons:
C/P from net
There are three possible reasons why the FTP server may return this error:
The drive (on the FTP server that the file is being stored on) is full (or there is not enough free space available for the file being sent)
The user has a limit on the amount of disk space (on the FTP server) they can use (a quota) and they’ve reached that limit (or will exceed it with the file being sent)
The permissions on the folder (on the FTP server) do not allow this user to store files in it
Most of the FTP servers run on UNIX-like OS. These OS, when detecting a fatal filesystem problem, switch their filesystem into read-only mode until the administrator has fixed the problem

I’m not sure if this is a server issue. If I try to find the error message “Could not write to local file”, I do see some references to it in FileZilla translation files, but those refer to a piece of source code where it’s not being referenced.
I’m not sure it is a server issue because you don’t see any error message in the the server logs, the server says 226 File successfully transferred, which means that as far as the server knows, the transfer was successful.
So my guess is that FileZilla starts the transfer, tries to read the data from the file on your computer, fails to do so, and as a consequence stops the transfer without transferring any data.
Reading the replies again, the OneDrive explanation from @SpookyKipper seems like a very good explanation for this. Why it says “write” and not “read”, which is what you would expect in an upload, I don’t know. But my guess is that downloading the files from OneDrive will fix this issue.

@SpookyKipper, you are right!
I first downloaded the site from OneDrive to my PC and then I was able to upload it without any inconvenience.
Thank you very much!
