Upload not overwriting files 2011

HI guys
IM using dreamweaver cs5.5
When I upload htm files they are not always overwriting the files on the server. I have gone through the settings, and checked everything, but nothing seems to work.
Can someone shed some light on this light issue?

here, I've taken a screen shot of my site configuration.

Upload not overwriting files

DW 3.0
When I upload htm files they are not always overwriting the
files on the server. This is especially true when uploading batches
of files, but even with single files they sometimes overwrite the
server files and sometimes they don't. Very frustrating.
Under Preferences > Site FTP I have "Save Files Before
Putting" checked.
What could be causing the files to not be overwriting? Thanks

Thank you Beth, for your good natured play.
But you see, I already spent the money. The software had glitches back
then...still does only worse now. They didn't mind spending money to get it out
there and sold. Other companies support software that's much much older.
It's not that I won't spend money to keep up with the professionals and high
tech crowd...I have no need to keep up with them. It's that I already
spent money and would like to see the software work correctly. I'll even put it
back on an P4-XP machine...no problem. Of course, then I have to call in
and answer their automated inquiry as to how many machines I've installed
this obsolete version on...like it really mattered. They won't spend money to
support it, but they work hard to protect their already-received money and
interests like a government agency! So I suppose it IS lame of me to see
that as one-sided, self-serving, and lacking in care toward the consumer who
isn't continually spending money in their store.
I don't need to deal with a comfort zone or learn new software...I
under-utilize the version I have as it is. I just want it to work consistently.
I've considered upgrading, but have decided not to because of what I get and
don't get when I purchase their software. Why would I want to pay MORE for
software that...as great as it is in some ways, doesn't want to work for me?
I don't get it. I can download any one of a number of free software, which
while nowhere near as comprehensive as Dreamweaver, WORKS, and
uploads/downloads/edits...without all the error-ridden nonsense I find with
Dreamweaver. The entire package was $1899 (CS2 and Studio 8 together...although I
got a discount for nonprofit status). Presumably they charge these prices
because they view their programming team as being on top of their game...yes?
(or does that only apply to their marketing team?) Why would I want to add
to the hundreds I spent only to endure more misery, almost zero support
without spending more money, only to look forward to paying yet more money for
upgrades of misery and poor support? Note that although I bought it
originally to support our nonprofit chapter, the nonprofit did not/could not pay
for it...I did. My income okay, but is not great enough to pay year after
year for upgrades to expensive software that is so poorly supported...even if
it does Windows AND dishes!
My brother was right. I should get a Mac. But if Adobe or Macromedia
decided to put out Windows versions, I do not in any way think it unreasonable
to expect them to support it through time, with new drivers and patches
relevant to reported glitches and new operating systems being used. To not do so
is coercion and up-sell pressure. Sure, both hardware and software
eventually push everyone involved to upgrade or get lost in the shuffle...but in
this instance, it is over-played. Oh yeah, I forgot...this doesn't apply to
those who use the software to make a good living and stay updated on a
continuing basis, and who either pay more for support or don't need support.
I think you believe you understand my frustration. But it doesn't sound
like you have much use for anyone but professionals who upgrade all things
regularly and remain near the cutting edge. So, okay...I posted my complaints
long ago, and recently...both with and without sarcastic riders. And...I
didn't get assistance from staffers or others on the forum particularly.
Small deal. So Beth comes along, smiling, a little disdain, a chuckle of
knowing how people "should" be doing it if they do any programming, and being so
kind as to exchange emails and posts with me to let me know this...and
still not offer any assistance.
My frustration level is mostly cussing at software that doesn't do what it
touts it is so great at doing. I can live with it. And I have little choice
it seems. LOL But...YES!!!...Adobe could spend a little money giving the
minimal support to their past software versions that many other vendors and
programming teams offer for a LOT less money. OMG! That was almost a pure
rant! Well...thank you Adobe and your Dreamweaver Macromedia predecessors
for the great work you've done, despite what few nigglies you haven't done.
Just go stand in the corner and think about what you've done, and I'll let
you know when you can go play again.
I remain of the conclusion suggested earlier: That my requests are
reasonable. Thank you so very much for your thoughtful time responding.

(Beth):
You want Adobe to spend money and you won't? Hmmm. And you say you're
making a living with their software? Well, you didn't say that, but...
I think I get your frustration, but try moving out of your comfort zone
and learn the new software.

Dreamweaver not overwriting files on the server

I am having the same problem that was mentioned in another post andthe issue has increased in Dreamweaver CS4. It will not overwrite new files to the server consistently. Even the date changes in some cases but the old file is still there. It is not a problem with the server because when I upload them with FETCH everything works. It is EXTREMELY frustrating and makes the program almost useless if you can't use this aspect of it. I have checked all the preferences and can't find anything that is causing this except for that I don't usually upload the dependent files because they already exist. What is the deal? Anyone know?

I have run into something similar on our webserver where the server was caching files. I am not sure how our IT guy fixed it, but I cleared the browser cache, and it still rendered the old page because the server was caching it.

Programs will not overwrite files.

I attempt to save files, or overwrite files using multiple programs and they will not save as overwrites. They save with (1) behind the original name. Normally this would not be a great issue, but I deal with many files
at a large volume. I deal with .pdf files. Using Adobe Reader, G.I.M.P. 2, PDF24 Creator, and PDF Split and Merge Basic. This problem only began 1 week ago. I have attempted to remedy with malware scans, disk defrag, virus scans and ultimately formatted and
re-installed windows. Any help would be wonderful. Thanks.

Check file properties, do you see "Locked" ? Or unlock option ?
If file read only ?

Can not overwrite files on windows server

we use a mac mini with os x 10.6.2. when trying to save files to a windows server it will not overwrite the files. we have to save using a new name then delete the original file and rename the new one back to the desired name. can not figure out why. any ideas?

the permissions on the server are read/write. files can be overwritten. we have another mac mini with an older version of os (10.5.something) and it works fine. this mini is new so i think it has something to do with the new os.

Render will not overwrite files

I have a project which involves generating a number of unique shake scripts. In ironing out the workflow I've discovered that Shake does not want to overwrite an existing file when I render out. Is there some hidden switch I need to set to force file overwrites? At the moment I'm not rendering with a shell script I am doing it from the gui using render of FileOut nodes.
I know this is the case because if I delete the file in question and then go back and select render the new file is there. If I try to rerender again, shake behaves as if it is rendering (flipbook pops up) but when I go to the directory in question, the old file is still there.

This can happen if the file is in use by another application, like Final Cut.
In that case, quit Final Cut before rendering.
It's nice that Shake doesn't tell you there's a problem.

[SOLVED] Overwrite files with pacman.

Hello all
I know that pacman, as a design feature, does not overwrite files by default. I've read the post and the wiki about it.
But I've a situation where I would need to overwrite dozens of files, in different directories, and it would be very nice, If possible, to make an exception to this rule.
I dont know how, but I've messed up an Kdemod upgrade. It stopped working and I cant uninstall it, because pacman doesnt find the appropriate groups (Kdemod-complete and Kdemod-uninstall).
On the other hand, I cant simply reinstall it, or kde[extra], because pacman gives dozens "leftover file" messages in different directories, and refuses to overwrite them.
I just want a way to reinstall KDEmod, at least to try to remove everything with "pacman -Rd kdemod-uninstall" and start from scratch, if it doesnt work. And, I would like to escape manually removing all the files in different directories or a full system reinstall.
Any Ideas?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Just in case someone Googles this Thread, nowadays its
# pacman -S --force <package>
Moderator comment: That is true as far as the synatax of Pacman command is concerned -- BUT -- using 'force', unless you know exactly what you're doing, is not recommended. It can cause serious breakage.
In fact, the -f flag was deliberately deprecated in favor of --force specifically to make it less likely that someone will try using it.

Could not overwrite rtf file on report template in BI Publisher

Hi All,
I want to upload the rtf file for Bi publisher report. There is already an rtf file and I have edited the file and want to overwrite it . It shows that the only way is to delete the template and again
create the template by uploading the rtf file. I tried to overwrite the existing template with edited rtf but it shows the error. Is there any other options rather than deleting the template and uploading again for edited rtf file.
Thanks,
Virat

Hi,
it seems, sometimes everyone would like to draw a vertical reference line at the data date of a line chart, so I would like to bring this thread up again.
I assume, that there is no vertical reference line on line, bar or area charts, because of the following reason: The vertical reference line is made for X1Axis; that's why it's called X1ReferenceLine. Line, bar and area charts don't have any X1Axis, but a O1Axis (ordinal axis):
from Graph.dtd: "

<!ELEMENT O1Axis EMPTY >

<!ELEMENT X1Axis (ViewFormat?) >
There is no such thing as <!ELEMENT O1ReferenceLine EMPTY > in Graph.dtd.
Is there any other solution, why it seems not to be possible, to draw a vertical reference line on line charts?
Kind regards,
Tobias
ps: Regarding the difference between X-Axis and ordinal axis, I take the explanation from http://goorman.free.fr/ZedGraph/zedgraph.org/wiki/index1240.html?title=What_does_%27Ordinal%27_mean%3F .

How to upload and overwrite a file from a dynamic list

I need to come up with a way to upload and overwrite and existing image file from a dynamically generated list. For instance, there would be a drop-down select box with Company A, Company B, Company C, etc. and when the user selects one of them it should display a prompt to upload a new logo image file, overwriting the existing logo file. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm not sure why you need a prompt. Sounds like an unnecessary annoyance to me.
A simple form with a select and input type="file" should get you started. Then I would probably do something like:
1. upload the file to a temp folder on your server.
2. Rename it according to what company was selected.
3. Move it to it's permanent folder.

Not overwriting server files still unresolved

Reposted from a 2009 post in a 2007 thread:
DW CS2 was overwriting server files on PUT all the time, and now sometimes doesn't. GoDaddy.COM tech support suggests it is likely a DW issue. I agree.
I upload an update to a file already existing on the server such as HTML, PHP, JPG, etc. At times, the file simply will not update on the server. When this occurs, I've gone to dual (remote/local) view to watch the activity. I use the PUT button, and no update. I drag-drop the file directly to the correct folder, and no update. But...if I manually delete the server side file, then use the PUT button or drag-drop, the new file is then the correct file. Simply refusing to update on the server...but only sometimes. Whether using PUT or drag-drop, the file appears correctly in the desired folder, so it wasn't being sent to an incorrect server location.
Doug - [email protected]
Added information:
When these things have occurred, at times out of necessity and to check whether it is a server-related issue, I have used a couple other freebie FTP software to upload the same files. In every case, with each other software, the files uploaded which has just refused to properly update when uploaded using DW, would update on the server properly.
If people on this forum, watching these problems do not have an answer, that is something I can accept easily. But if some of those people are Adobe staffers, and it is not thoroughly investigated toward an end of resolving these issues, I find that highly objectionable. The 2009 post above was with reference to using DW in CS2 in Windows XP. I am now on a new machine, using Windows 7. At least most of the time, this particular anomaly is not occurring...but then I haven't been doing as much web work lately, so might not have run into it as it is a now and then style anomaly.
Only time will tell if the anomaly is still present. I can't really remember if it has surfaced in Windows 7. If it has not and does not, this "may" be an indicator that the problems lie in the relationship between DW and Windows XP...rather than only being about DW. I do not think it is the server in any case, as other tests indicate it is DW-specific. GoDaddy has checked and has found nothing which would prevent the files from updating correctly.
Someone in the other thread mentioned the case where a file inadvertently gets uploaded to the wrong folder. While that is not typical, it IS possible and I have to admit having been guilty in that area before...very "egg on face." So for anyone having such difficulties, DO scout around and make sure the correct updated file is not actually sitting somewhere else on the server wondering why no one accesses it. But I still hate dealing with Adobe...maybe because they've become rich producing good software, and I'm just a lowly tag-along.

You don't need crossdomain policy files, you need to do the following;
1)      Edit the Application.xml file in the host folder, within install directory/conf/... , edit the client tag, adding the attribute override=”yes”
<Client override=”yes”>
In a default install of Flash Media Server, the Client class is set to prevent overriding values in the application folder. This was why the settings we were trying were not holding.
We do not need to alter anything else of the conf Application.xml
2)      Add the client/access nodes to the root Application.xml within the content folder ( we have already done this as far as I am aware ).
<Application>
<Client>
   <Access>
    <VideoSampleAccess enabled="true">/</VideoSampleAccess>
    <AudioSampleAccess enabled="true">/</AudioSampleAccess>
   </Access>
</Client>
</Application>
3)      Restart the Media Server by using the administration console. This will enable the client>access values to be overridden to true.

Dw cs4 ftp - not uploading modified dependant files?

Hi, Ive made some changes to my css and worked on a few images, just over-writing them so they still have the same name.
I then uploaded the modified files but it still displays the old images and doesnt show the changes in the ccs?
Ive even uploaded the entire site again with no result :<
ps: Im working from a template, and all my pages are child pages from the template, all sharing the same css. Ivé cloaked the template but the css file doesnt have a red line through it.. dont know if this would affect anything.
reagards
Edit: Ive even tried to delete the style sheets and images by pressing delete in local and remote split view, and then re-upload them to no avail.
Does the host server refresh only so often or something?
bleh.. please help

Ive even deleted all the files I uploaded on the server and re-uploaded them and still, it doesnt load using the modified ccs, calling up the old images and not applying the changes I made to a menu.
The only thing I can think of is that its uploading them to a new folder if it is able to call up images ive deleted but I havent changed and ftp settings so why would this be.
I also inserted a image, not related to the css and that gets called up... so im really lost?

Essbase Data Export not Overwriting existing data file

We have an ODI interface in our environment which is used to export the data from Essbase apps to text files using Data export calc scripts and then we load those text files in a relational database. Laetely we are seeing some issue where the Data Export calc script is not overwriting the file and is just appending the new data to the existing file.
The OverWriteFile option is set to ON.
SET DATAEXPORTOPTIONS {
     DataExportLevel "Level0";
     DataExportOverWriteFile ON;
DataExportDimHeader ON;
     DataExportColHeader "Period";
     DataExportDynamicCalc ON;
The "Scenario" variable is a substitution variable which is set during the runtime. We are trying to extract "Budget" but the calc script is not clearing the "Actual" scenario from the text file which was the scenario that was extracted earlier. Its like after the execution of the calc script, the file contains both "Actual" and "Budget" data. We are not able to find the root cause as in why this might be happening and why OVERWRITEFILE command is not being taken into account by the data export calc script.
We have also deleted the text data file to make sure there are no temporary files on the server or anything. But when we ran the data export directly from Essbase again, then again the file contained both "Actual" as well as "Budget" data which really strange. We have never encountered an issue like this before.
Any suggestions regarding this issue?

Did some more testing and pretty much zoomed on the issue. Our Scenario is actually something like this "Q1FCST-Budget", "Q2FCST-Budget" etc
This is the reason why we need to use a member function because Calc Script reads "&ODI_SCENARIO" (which is set to Q2FCST-Budget) as a number and gives an error. To convert this value to a string we are using @member function. And, this seems the root cause of the issue. The ODI_Scenario variable is set to "Q2FCST-Budget", but when we run the script with this calculation function @member("&ODI_SCENARIO"), the data file brings back the values for "Q1FCST-Budget" out of nowhere in addition to "Q2FCST-Budget" data which we are trying to extract.
Successful Test Case 1:
1) Put Scenario "Q2FCST-Budget" in hard coded letters in Script and ran the script
e.g "Q2FCST-Phased"
2) Ran the Script
3) Result Ok.Script overwrote the file with Q2FCST-Budget data
Successful Case 2:
1) Put scenario in @member function
e.g. @member("Q2FCST-Budget")
2) Results again ok
Failed Case:
1) Deleted the file
2) Put scenario in a substitution variable and used the member function "@member("&ODI_Scenario") and Ran the script . *ODI_SCENARIO is set to Q@FCST-Budget in Essbase variables.
e.g. @member("&ODI_SCENARIO")
3) Result : Script contained both "Q1FCST-Budget" as well as "Q2FCST-Budget" data values in the text file.
We are still not close to the root cause and why is this issue happening. Putting the sub var in the member function changes the complete picture and gives us inaccurate results.
Any clues anyone?

[MX 2004} Can't upload! The file may not exist, or there could be a permission problem

I'm running MX 2004 on Windows XP. All's been well for the
last few months, doing site maintenance at this part-time job. I
get tangled up a bit in checking files in and out, coming from
GoLive, and since there's no one else with FTP access, yesterday I
told it to check the entire site in. I didn't have any changes I
didn't want to commit, and I figured that would keep things a
little neater.
As of today, I can post revisions to existing pages, or
resize image files, but when I create a new page, or try to place a
new image file on an existing page, I can't upload it.
So, to be clear: I have two pages already up on the site,
index.html and apple.html, with a link between them. If I create
new page banana.html and make a link to it from index, index.html
will upload that revised link, but banana.html is refused with the
message
FTP error: The file may not exist, or there could be a
permission problem
I know the file doesn't exist (remotely); I just made it.
I've gone to Prefs and disable Check In / Check Out, which didn't
do me any good. What next?

Can you open the FTP log, select one of these new files and
upload it- then
cut and paste relevant part of the ftp log?
Also- does this site have a "host directory", a subfolder
that your public
files need to go into? If yes- is this folder listed in the
host directory
line of the remote server info?
And odd past thing i've seen-
Had hosting that used public_html as the public folder name.
They also had a symbolic link named www that pointed to
public_html
Could upload/download existing files with www in "host
directory" line of
dw; but could not upload new files or work with files in
subfolders.
changing to public_html instead of the www symlink fixed this
for me.

As the last post suggests, call Apple and order a replacement original disc for about $17. They will ask you the model and serial numbers.
Your retail version of Snow Leopard OS 10.6.3 will not work on that Mac as it requires a minimum of OS X 10.6.7 to boot and operate.
Another alternative is to again borrow another Mac to install your retail Snow Leopard into an external HD or partition, upgrade it to 10.6.8 and then clone it back to a partition on your MBP.

Hello Fellow iBook Authors!
Today I received the same error that you all have been discussing. I tried selecting the DRM
and this did not work for me, though I'm glad it did for some. Here's what I did as a work-around. . .
Since iBooks Author did not have a problem with Videos, I simply used one of my video programs, ScreenFlow to turn the audio into a video file m4v. I added an image and extended the length or timing of the image to span the length of the audio file. Then exported as an .mov. I then opened QuickTime and opened the file and exported the file to iTunes.
You can use iMovie, Camtasia or any other progam that will allow you to export the audio as a movie file. Does this make sense? I hope this helps, at least in the short-term.
