Hi, I have set up FTP via Core FTP LE and although I can upload files to my site, when I look at them in the remote folder I see a very strange filename display that I have never seen before, such as: "group 3155 Dec 30 2010 Winhostdefault.htm" ... and when I try to download such a file, I get "file not found". I guess that's not surprising if it thinks this is the filename. I have not been able to find a solution to this problem - any ideas?
Winhostdefault.htm is a default page that is placed to the root of new Winhost sites. You need to delete this page from the server once you upload your own default page.
Thanks, but that's not the point, and my default page already works fine. Anyway, how do I delete it? If I try, get this: DELE group 3155 Dec 30 2010 Winhostdefault.htm 550 The system cannot find the file specified. PASV 227 Entering Passive Mode (96,31,35,33,19,220). LIST Connect socket #800 to 96.31.35.33, port 5084... 150 Opening ASCII mode data connection. 226 Transfer complete. Transferred 287 bytes in 0.327 seconds i.e. why I am I seeing "group 3155 Dec 30 2010 Winhostdefault.htm" as the filename in my FTP remote folder - surely it should be "Winhostdefault.htm" on its own.
David has advised me to use another FTP client. Filezilla works OK, so I assume this is a problem with Core FTP.
