Re: server displays old version of site
Your browser still has an old version of your page in its cache - press
CTRL+SHIFT and the 'refresh' button in your browser and it will request
the page from the server. This should bring up the new version of your
site.
Alternatively, you can also empty its cache - in Internet Explorer click on [b]Tools[/b], [b]Internet Options[/b], and the [b]General Tab[/b]. In the section [b]Temporary Internet Files[/b] click on [b]Delete Files...[/b] and click on [b]Ok[/b] in the dialog that will come up.
Re: server displays old version of site
Yes thats true at the desktop but does anyone know why when ftp'ing upto the server only some of the file is transmitted. Its only photos that suffer from this. I delete from the server, I replace for eg. from my desktop a perfect jpeg 39k file only to have a 29k file appear on the server with diverse files.
I cant updatew the whole site and rely on it at all I have better luck doing individual file transfers but thats a hassle AND still not reliable as 9 times out of ten the fault reoccurs.
Most odd.
Even odder is the fact that sometimes the jpegs might be smaller on the server than the hard drive but still display ok.
I use Transmit to ftp on MAC OS 9.2
Help most appreciated.
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?

Could it not be that s/he is sending the images across as ASCII instead of Binary (I)?
