There is *certainly* a degree of file caching going on with IIS web
and ftp, also files being "held" open by one or other for a time
since the most recent access, which can be extremely annoying
when you want to administer them. The behaviour may vary
between IIS versions and service packs...
Solution: start/stop the FTP service (yuk). Or wait a while. Alas, I
don't know of a remote way to tell FTP to flush whatever caching
it is using to achieve this unwanted effect. HOWEVER, there are
other FTP server programs out there...
