Fire FTP moving fantom files?

[jlockley]

This is just curiosity. I have just come out of the twilight zone, and I wonder if it's just me.

go to put up an edited html file with it's own css sheet via FireFTP. View it on the web, and find the old version. Delete that and check the version in the desktop folder to be sure it's the right one. It is. Move a copy via fireftp to Web folder. same thing. Save both css and html files to txt, check them to make sure they are the right ones. They are.

This goes on for a bit. checking, deleting, copying over, opening, checking source, clearing cache, double and triple checking that I have the right folder, etc etc etc etc.

Delete the HTML and CSS files in the desktop folder, Save the two files under the original names to both the desktop folder and a second folder with file name.

Get smart and go to good old fashioned IE ftp, which is no longer that good. Drag and drop the file in the new folder to the Public folder. Everything is hunky dorey.

Have I got gremlins? I need meds, maybe? Does Fire FTP keep its own copy of a cached file?

I expect you are uploading said file(s) to the wrong location. Easy as that. It's not magic.

Make sure your web page and css validates properly against the doctype you have chosen - before you attempt to debug a problem!

I checked that so many times. I don't think so. But who knows. More like gremlins.
