As for uploading/moving problems, check the official Phpbb sites, they have loads of how to tips.

EDIT-I moved my board to my own website hosting service, I think you would not be allowed to upload the back-up up to the Forumforfree servers.
I did the same as you but I used a converter to convert my sql file from ipbv1.3 to phpbb2.
