Ok I've been developing in CF for over 6 years and I've never run into this. I'm pretty sure it's not a CF issue per se', but thought someone here may have run into it. I've been contracted for some page updates at a college here in state, they provided me with access to their production and development sites. I make a change on my local copy, upload to dev, go to their dev site and refresh, no changes show I go on the dev site, delete the page in question, and get an error that it doesnt exist I copy my local changed copy back, it shows after refresh but as the old version again. What on earth is going on? Is this some sort of Secure FTP file protection that copies files back from a cache somewhere? thanks in advance!
They may have the trusted cache turned on in the CF administrator on their dev box. This generally isn't a good idea on development boxes for this very reason. If you have access to the cf administrator, you can upload your changes, clear the content cache (there's a button under caching in the cf administrator) and then check to see if your changes took effect.
