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,
Scott McGuire

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
