Connecting to a ftp at my host. Running file compares and updates between a directory structure on C: drive and directories on the host. I have been doing this "forever" with good results but on one host I seem to be (a) caching obsolete files and (b) not writing to the host even when I do a save or copy operation. I know that sounds vague.
Let's take an example: in one case I had a /modules/gallery3 directory yesterday on the host. I could see it both in cpanel on the host and through BC. I deleted it through Cpanel and added a gallery2 directory instead. Did this yesterday (4/25/2010). Came in today and BC still saw the gallery3 directory -- which was gone (confirmed by both Cpanel file manager and another ftp client) and didn't see the gallery2 directory. I tried all versions of refreshes through cpanel. Even shut BC down and came back in. Deleted files still showed up and new files did not. BC even let me "delete" the gallery3 directory and sat there simulating a delete of files that were not on the host. Like it was deleting them from cache or something.
In another case I uploaded an /installation directory from the C: drive to the host. It doesn't show on the host ... like it is not writing there.
In other cases I have been doing file by file edits. I will have the C: drive (repository) file on the left and make edits to the host version on the right, then click save. It says it's saved but the changes are not taking. I am not getting an error but when I go back to look at the files the changes are not there. Hummm, thinking ... I just went into one of the files I edited and looked at it again in the BC editor. The change is there (on the host side). However, looking right at the same file on the host I am not seeing the change.
Any ideas. I have blown at least 3 hours of work with this strangeness.
