Although I posted into a topic that seemed to describe my problem exactly, I was asked to create a new topic. Here goes.
WinXP, SmartFTP v4.0.1066
I right click on a file on remote server and Edit. The file seems to be transferred and opens in my editor, but the version in the editor is not the same as the version on the server.
This doesn't happen every time. Clearing the temporary files doesn't seem to help.
This is a big problem in that I've overwritten several newer versions with older version and had to go into my backups to recover them.
A related problem is that about half the time when I Edit as above even with the correct file, and then save, the monitoring fails. If I try closing the file and reEditing it, the new version appears in my editor, but the server has never been updated. Only closing down SmartFTP and restarting it gets things working again, and only temporarily. It usually only takes editing 4 or 5 files before the monitoring fails.
Here's the proceedure I followed based on the other thread.
Upgraded to v4.0.1066.0
Stopped queue
Viewed file
double clicked the file in the queue, a dialog popped up with nothing in it.
Started queue.
Same old file.
Even if I then upload a new version of the file and follow same proceedure, same problem happens.
This is really bad because I've overwritten several files with older version. It doesn't happen all the time, only rarely.
Occasionally the files appears corrupted, as if part of the file is there, and a piece of another file is appended at the bottom. Corrupted cache?
Files are uploaded only in binary mode. The file in question is a PHP file.
I've only noticed this problem over the past month or so since I upgraded.
