Filezilla problem - GoFuckYourself.com

Mutt · 06-27-2012, 02:57 PM

When I have Filezilla open/running, if I edit a file locally on my own computer, or even just open the file to take a look at it and save it again - Filezilla pops up an alert 'File has been updated' and it prompts/asks me if I want to overwrite a file with the same name on the remote server. I screwed up a few weeks ago and obviously instead of clicking 'No' clicked 'Yes' and it updated/overwrote an important file on the server. I don't want Filezilla doing this at all, I can't find anything in Filezilla to turn off this feature.

thanks

Good post!

I have not updated Filzilla in years and now I'm glad I found this out.
This would have messed me up plenty!

Is that a "synchronization" thing that can be turned on so you don't overwrite yourself or if a file's changed... ?
