Re: server displays old version of site

Hi

My first thought would be that you might have an unstable internet connection which meant that the transfer got interrupted part way through. Have you tried connecting from somewhere else to see if it is just your connection that is affected, or is this unfeasible?

I regularly ftp large numbers of files at once and have never had this happen, but with a permanant connection is is less likely to lose the connection.

However this would usually mean you would get an error message in your ftp log file - have you checked it? And that if the end of the file was missing it would not display properly.

Are you sure that you have not saved more than one version of the file - some image editting programs have optimisation setting that would make the file as small as possible, could you have uploaded a smaller version because of something set in the program you are using? Or could it just be variations in accuracy of the display of the size of the file? Perhaps the display of the files on the server is not updating after the upload?
