If you mean at the server end, there is nothing you can do about 
it. It's their responsibility to keep enough space available to 
you.
   If you mean a local server, then it's your responsibility. 
Either get rid of any quota or get/move it to a larger/another 
drive with enough space.

I can't really see the problem - or how it's occurrng. Perhaps if 
you provided enough details ...
