Thanks for the help I received of members of the list on the above problem. The problem turned out to be an "invisible file" contained in the folder. I paste below the text from Interarchy help which advises how to show invisible files: "How do I see invisible .files? Traditionally files starting with a dot (.) are not shown in listings to allow system files and such to be stored without cluttering the user�s view of the files in the directory. Normally Interarchy will not display files starting with a dot (.), but you can ask Interarchy not to ignore .files using the �Ignore .files� preference in the Transfers panel of the Preferences window <http://www.interarchy.com/documentation/7/windows.html#window_preferences> . If you turn off that preference Interarchy will display to you any files that the server displays to Interarchy. Many FTP <http://www.interarchy.com/documentation/7/glossary.html#glossary_ftp> servers do not display .files in their listings for the same reasons. Some of them implement a unix-style extension allowing a �-a� option to be sent to the LIST command to force displaying all files. However this is a non-standard extension and other servers may take this to mean �display only files with name �-a��. But you can force Interarchy to send the �-a� option by enabling the �Send LIST -a� preference in the Transfers panel of the Preferences window <http://www.interarchy.com/documentation/7/windows.html#window_preferences>" Hope this may help anyone with a similar problem. PLEASE NOT THIS IS NOT A PRODIG TOPIC SO PLEASE DO NT ADD TO THE THERAD!
