Movinmg files on the remote server

Using Version 3.0.1012.6

In version of 2.5 I could easily upload a batch of files to a folder on the server, then move them by drag and drop - singly or in groups - to appropriate folders at my leisure.

This now seems not to work. But there is no failue message.

I think that sometimes I can get the move to happen, but the file is then not deleted from the source folder for the move on the server.

Am I doing somemthing wrong? Or is this a bug?

Please install the latest version from:

Did you start the Transfer Queue? Did you check the log in the Transfer Queue?

Sorry for delay in coming back on this.

Still using version v3.0.1012.6

Some logs are given below. The situation seems to be:

In both the examples below the topmost option of the 'file exists what to do' window was selected.

If you drag-and-drop a file from one's PC to a folder on the server, and if the file already exists on the server/folder, then the file is copied and replaced


[15:46:32] CWD /htdocs
[15:46:32] 250 OK. Current directory is /htdocs
[15:46:32] PWD
[15:46:32] 257 "/htdocs" is your current location (the file visitors.html is already in this folder)
[15:46:32] NOOP
[15:46:32] 200 Zzz...
[15:46:36] MLST visitors.html

[15:46:36] 250 End.
[15:46:39] The operation has been added to the Transfer Queue. Check the Transfer Queue for the status.

X.gid=4294967295;unique=0g0; visitors.html
[15:46:40] 250 End. (the file has been copied and overwrites the original)



If you do the above from a folder on the server to another folder on the server, and if the file already exists on the server/folder, then the file is NOT moved and replaced. Note the last few lines of the log extract below.

[15:41:45] 257 "/Update pages" is your current location
[15:41:45] MLST notices1.html
[15:41:45] 550 Can't check for file existence

[15:41:56] RNTO /htdocs/notices1.html
[15:41:56] 550 Rename/move failure: File exists (file NOT moved and replaced by drag-and-drop to folder where a copy already exists)


Your observations and solutions - is this a bug? The failing operation could be done in v2.5

Thanks

Please install the latest version from:

Thanks for reminding me to use the latest version - now running 3.0.1013.2

Problem still there. I even made sure that the file I was trying to move had a later creation date, it was otherwise the same

Sorry to keep on with this, it is just an anoyance as I can work around it, but seems a pity to have lost functionallity that existed before. I am using the default Look/Theme - Office 2003. Is this part of the problem for me? The window with choices about file replacement, etc., when pre-existing file is detected flies away.

Thanks in anticipation.

You are not running the latest version. Please install it from

Many thanks mb for sorting this out. Great service



With version 3.0.1013.8 all now working.

Not sure what happened with the download versions. Before my previous post I had downloaded (from download.com) at about 1200 UK Summer time, 21 April, and got v 1013.2. At about 1800 same time zone and date I got v 1013.8 !!!

Excellent piece of software, I use it for two medium size charity web sites - a church and a school, both are updated at least twice a week, so reliable FTP a must!
