Yes you should be able to overwrite, but you should check the permissions, as they might hold the key here.

SSH in and view the files you're trying to overwrite by doing
ls -la
Which will show you the permissions and also user/group ownership. User ownership may be root/admin, and group should be the site number, permissions should then be set as:
-rw-rw-r--

Which means:  
read/write for owner
read/write for group
read only for anyone else.

Admin should be a member of the group, so should let you read/write to the files. If you need to change the permissions, set them to:
chmod 664 filename.ext
which sets the above ownership

hope that helps,
