I am having some troubles uploading via FTP. I have tried three FTP clients with the same results. When I upload via FTP, and it asks me to overwrite and I choose yes, the files are not overwriting. I can upload a file, choose yes and when it is done if I try to upload the same file again, the file sizes are different. I have tried binary, ascii and auto. When I view the file on the server I can see it has old code that I am trying to overwrite. Any ideas?
Don't know but maybe try deleting the files from the server first, then upload afresh as a work around.
try deleting them from CPanel if you have it. Have you viewed the new files through a browser (if html/php/etc)?
If the files where writen by php, php may be the owner of the file and you as a user have no right to change or delete it. Check the properties of the file to see who the owner is
Cpanel file manager will delete files with permissions set by php that you cannot delete via FTP. Whatever code is writing those files needs to be updated so you can manage the files via FTP if that is what you desire. This is assuming we are correct in saying php owns the files.
This reminds me of some files I couldn't change because I didn't have permission to do that. I changed them to 777 with ftp... nothing. I changed them to 777 with cpanel... still nothing. Had to give up and leave like they were.
Are you the "owner" of those files ? If you have multiple FTP logins to the same account orsubdomain. You may have uploaded them with one FTP login and are trying to delete them with another.
