weird filename when I upload (3 posts)

  Hello,

  I'm having a problem when I upload files where all filenames are transformed with weird name like:

  ftpGWkK91
  ftpIJNtFO
  ftpNu9ec9
  ftpTNnE3x
  ftpUe3L0B
  ftpVKUWiV
  ftpXLxSax
  ftpvYBPfI
  ftpyVDV5k

  instead of :
  index.php
  test.php
  etc...

  It seems I'm having this issue only with Fetch program and 1 server.

  Here's the transcript if someone has any idea:

  227 Entering Passive Mode (69,94,94,196,236,130).
  Making data connection to 69.94.94.196 port 60546
  STOU hello.php
  150 FILE: ftpXvwrab
  226 Transfer complete.
  Transfer of hello.php (24 bytes, 0 bytes/sec, 0:00 elapsed) completed at 8/3/07 3:55:56 PM

  Hi,

  When you use the Put command, change the setting of the "If a file already exists:" menu to "Replace existing file". Do not use "Pick a different name".

  When this menu is set to "Pick a different name," Fetch asks the server to pick a new name for your files if ones with the same name already exist, so that your existing files are not replaced. Unfortunately, some servers always pick new names for files whether they need to or not, and often the names have little relation to the file's original name.

  Please let us know if this doesn't fix your problem.

  Thanks,
