Local file gets deleted

I have run into an issue that happens when:

  • Upload a file (.html file in this case)
  • Return to editing software (Dreamweaver CS3 in this case)
  • Edit and try to save same file
  • I receive an error saying access is denied from Dreamweaver
  • Cannot save the file until I return to SmartFTP and make sure the local file is NOT SELECTED (highlighted)
  • At this point, the local file had been deleted and no longer exists
  • Re-save local file from within Dreamweaver

As stated, I cannot save the local file until I ensure that the file is not highlighted in SmartFTP, at which point it somehow has been deleted from the local location. As soon as I de-select the local in SmartFTP I can save the file (again, from Dreamweaver in this example).

Hello ..

Please post the system information from the menu: Help->About "System Information" dialog.

Do you have the preview pane enabled in the Local Browser?

Mat

After the file is uploaded do you still see it in the Windows Explorer?

For some reason I am not getting email notifications that somone has replied, so I apologize for my slow responses.

The file shows in Explorer after it is uploaded. It does not get deleted until I try to re-save the file from Dreamweaver AND I have the file selected in SmartFTP.

SmartFTP does not delete the file. It means there must be another application which deletes the file.

REgards,

I have this same problem, same applications. SmartFTP 3 and Dreamweaver CS3. If anyone figures out what causes this I would love to know.

Taro: Please install the latest version: https://www.smartftp.com/download

Then try to disable the Preview pane in the Local Browser in SmartFTP.
