Change of file and folder names after download of backup, was it
accidental?
I had just sent a message with an attached file
so that you could see what my problem is. Your server blocked the attachment.
So I am sending now the contents (in text) of that image attached in my last
message.
File name changes (some of them, because all were changed, and
each show a size of 1 kb.
For example:
8 21:47 Programa 2003.doc
8
18:07 Programa 2003.pdf
8 18:04 unorchcurso2003.jpg
7 2003
buscar-search.gif
6 20:14 !cid_258922.jpg
6 09:36
biblio1.htm
and so all of the files, with different numbers
added. No way to open, it says the file isn�t there.

Hello:
I use WS-FTP 8.0, and recently had
upgraded from 7.5
I had been using the software without problems up to
yesterday evening, when I made some backups for my sites, downloaded files and
folder to my PC.
Files were transferred correctly, the names of files and
folder exactly the samename as on the server.
But this morning, I tried to
make a listing of files at the server, and for those folders from where I
backup-ed yesterday, the name of the folders and the files had changed. They
are no longer recognized and I can�t open them double-clicking.
The folder and files show usually two or three
numbers, and what seems to by the time. Something like this: 23 2003
filename.
I cannot, by clicking on them, open the folder. They are not
recognized as valid folders or files, or it tells me that the file cannot be
transferred.
However, when I look at my backup folder in my PC, files names
and folders downloaded have their correct number and I can execute
them.
On the other hand, when I visit the sites with my IE 6, I can open
the files without problems . There they have their correct names, and the
site functions OK.
I REFRESHEed several times, but it always shows me the
altered folder and file names.
Since I am new to version 8, I may have done
something incorrectly.
Should I go back and reinstall 7.5?
Should I
change all the names to their original ones (in the window to the right of my
WS-FTP?) These are in the hundreds. Since the site works OK, and the files are
recognized as such, I probably wouyld make a great error ijn trying to rename
the files, in the right window of WS-FTP !!!!
Should I reinstall 8? Since
it is an upgrade from 7.5 it probably will not install
independently?
Should I drop WS-FTP and look for another
client?
Your advise will be welcomed.
