webuilder 2007
sometimes when i click "save and upload file to ftp" under Project
the file uploads but i've discovered it sometimes uploads incorrectly by adding an underscore ("_") to the end of the file.
for example, index.php might be uploaded as index.php_
this especially happens if the file (such as index.php) already exists on the server
is this a passive mode? i have overwrite by default enabled.
any ideas?
thanks!

Re: underscores _ added to file extensions
Hi there
I can't say I have ever seen this and I have uploaded a heap of files to many different servers. Unless it is something specific to php files which I have not had much file-transfer experience with. Passive mode shouldn't add anything to the files, and with overwrite prompt enabled it always asks me if I want to overwrite.
Do you get an overwrite prompt, then choose overwrite only to discover two files (one with the underscore) or do you transfer without getting an overwrite prompt and then find two files? Hope this makes sense...
Dave.

The FTP side of WeBuilder has been heavily worked on. You may wish to try the WeBuilder 2008 trial to see if that exhibits the same behaviour.

Re: underscores _ added to file extensions
There is NO place in the code that does anything with the file extensions.
Could it be a special feature by your FTP host?
