I have this 63KB php file on a remote server. I'm using Filezilla to work on it. Until yesterday, I could open the file, make changes on it and then save it on the server. But now it started to change the file after saving and uploading back is complete. What it does to the file is: it copies like the first 100 lines and then pastes it till the file is 63KB. I tried changing transfer to binary from auto and restarting Filezilla(even my computer), it did not help.
Edit: I have this problem only with large files(like 60KB)
Check that the correct permissions are on the file and directories. It could be that the user account that you are trying to upload from doesn't have the correct permissions so the file isn't wrote.

I'm new to this and want to connect to my .ppk file using filezilla. But the problem is whenever I tried adding key file it doesnt really add in filezilla
enter image description here
When adding file I was able to click the .ppk file but when I press open it doesnt add in the filezilla private key list like showed in the picture
I've run into the same problem trying to use the .ppk files generated by cPanal. I ran the conversion tool built into cPanel and downloaded the .ppk file but when I try to select it in FileZilla it never works. Most of the time it either sets to the first .ppk file in the folder I'm in or it stays blank but in all cases, it doesn't work.
A 4-month-old posting on this site, https://trac.filezilla-project.org/ticket/12461, says that it appears to be due to an upgrade in the PuTTY PPK file format to v3 which is only supported in FileZilla v3.55+. I happen to run a Linux desktop and the distro version of my copy of FileZilla is v3.52. So looks like I need to wait till the distro catches it up.
Try just installing the latest version and trying again.
I have got a SVN Server. Which worker perfect untill this morning (Last commit 10:35:39). There was a file created at the hidden .svn folder which is named "lock" at that commit time.
After the file was created I cannot COMMIT, UPDATE, CLEAN-UP and tried to login as Server admin. When I right click the file and select properties, the Security tab shows I do not have access to see the information. It is not possible to set myself as file admin. I can not delete the file.
Other checkout directories which also use the same SVN server still work.
Anyone knows how to delete this file or fix this issue?
I had a similar access denied issue when trying to move a repo from another server. I was able to load the repo by making sure I was the Owner of the target files
I've attempted to upload the same PHP file to my shared hosting server through Dreamweaver and Filezilla and in both cases my 2KB file gets uploaded onto the server as 0KB.
In Filezilla, I've attempted to upload in both ASCII and Binary mode and get the same result.
I renamed the local file, uploaded it, and it also ended up empty.
I created a new HTML file, 1KB, and uploaded it. It seemed to keep its size until I viewed the file on the server in which it showed up empty. I checked the server again, and the file was down to 0 bytes.
One strange thing I've noticed is that Dreamweaver marks the most recently uploaded file as "Checked out by: " - essentially nobody. All of the other files including files that have been emptied are "Checked out by: my name".
I'm at a loss.
I'd double check to see if the FTP server is out of disk space.
I'm trying to figure out how to autoftp with Filezilla. Are there any other programs that do this right off the bat?
I use WinSCP for some of its amazing benefits. I connect to my FTP server with WinSCP and let it monitor my local folder /website/public_html.
Any changes I make in my local folder automatically get uploaded to my FTP server by WinSCP. The feature is called Keep remote directory up to date:
http://winscp.net/eng/docs/task_keep_up_to_date
As for SCSS, I also use it:
I have a script that opens a console window to watch my /website/scss files and compiles them to /website/public_html/styles/. WinSCP sees the CSS file has changed (or is new) and automatically uploads it.
Notice: The only downside is you cannot reach your error_log as that is automatically generated on the server by PHP. To do this you can easily instantiate another WinSCP to connect to your website. Now you have 1 WinSCP monitoring your local folder and 1 WinSCP where you can access your site map.
If by "autoftp" you mean "update the file on the server whenever I save it" and you're working with code, then I'd recommend the wonderful Notepad++
Notepad++ certainly is wonderful for this particular function and it even saves a cache of the whatever has been accessed and modified from the remote server.
The downside however (for me) is that Notepad++ will not auto-upload preprocessed CSS files like .scss or .less. I tried actually opening the resulting .css files in Notepad++ to mimic the act of editing them, but that still puts an extra step in the process. I have to click over to the tabs and manually save them (after the 'your file as changed prompt').
Currently, after I make changes, I click over to FZ and upload the files manually.
This response is late, but hopefully it will be helpful to those looking to get past Filezilla's "do you want to overwrite" prompt every time a file being edited locally is saved. Unfortunately, the Filezilla developers are staunchly opposed to making this behavior optional. It is a problem for many, especially when working with limited desktop space, since every time the prompt appears, one must expose the hidden filezilla window just to click okay.
Anyway, the answer is WinSCP. It is also free and is so similar to filezilla that I needed no learning to use it immediately.
Cheers!
There is an easier way to do that with NetBeans IDE, there is an option to upload files with FTP or SFTP on save, manually or on Run
Right click on your project and click Properties
Click the second category run configuration
Run As: Choose Remote Website (FTP,SFTP)
Project Url: put your website live link eg www.example.com
Upload files: Choose On Save
Remote Connection > Manage > Add > Connection name (put one) > FTP
Now add your ftp details. Make sure your Initial directory path is correct, (your website path) so you will not accidentally replace any files from other website in the file manager
Unfortunately there no option on filezilla can auto agree upload when file has been changed.
Mobaxtern can do that. You can choose "always upload" when file has been changed.
You can edit the file with any editor, whenever you save, it will upload.
I like to use WebDrive ($40) which mounts a remote server (S)FTP/SSH/Cloud to a local drive (eg. X: on Windows). You can then just do everything to drive X: as if it's a local drive and WebDrive automatically uploads the changes to the remote server.
I use Notepad++ with its NppFTP plugin. I am required to keep local copies up to date, so I edit the local files then upload them to the server. I'm wondering if there is a way for Notepad++ to automatically upload the file to the server as soon as I save it, without me having to press another button.
I'm open to using other FTP programs but I would rather stick with Notepad++ as the text editor
I know this question is slightly dated, but I would just like to put out there to alleviate future confusion for anyone who tries to find an answer to this question that as far as I know, NppFTP currently does this by default. There is a window beneath the main file view area that informs you of current FTP operations. Dreamweaver has started crapping out on me regularly so I had to find an equally powerful solution; it seems like Notepad++ just might be that!
Instead of trying to do this solely with Notepad++, I've gotten a similar workflow using Filezilla as well.
I set Notepad++ as my default text editor (Edit -> Settings -> File Editing -> Use Custom Editor) in Filezilla.
I can right-click on a local file (in Filezilla) and press "edit". Whenever I save the file in Notepad++, Filezilla detects the difference and prompts me to upload the file.
Will reply back to this post once I can get this process to be completely automatic.
Researching about same problem , i found from the Notepad++ Plugin Manager NppNetNote plugin. It allow you to edit both files at time (Local and remote) wich is like edit local and publish.
Edit: I'm sorry. Mistake. Now that plugin is called NppDocShare, and acts as server/client for a live document. You can edit a file from two locations (Notepad++ executions) at twice, but cannot edit two files nor emulates the autoupload.
I'd try the #Gabriel Ryan Nahmias and he's just RIGHT. The NppFTP plugin does that you wanna, but is a little tricky (obvious when you do) to configure.
By default, the program uses a variable path (Global cache: %CONFIGDIR%\Cache\%USERNAME%#%HOSTNAME%) to store the local copy that is uploaded at save. You need to create a pair folder when create a ftp CONNECTION PROFILE to say to NppFTP plugin how you wanna threat the file/connection. Otherwise, the ftp file goes to global.
Once the profile is created, i.e; C:\myfolder\ vs / (/ is relative to ftp) any file Edited or Created will be created/autouploaded to FTP at save. Also, you can open the FTP file, and it will be threated as the local one. Untill you save that, the real local file is not overwritten. If you dont like the file from FTP, simply close file and open from the local folder. So, you can chose which document wanna edit at start :)
Works Like Magic. Now im in love with Notepad++ :)
Extra: The subfolder creation is not magic. This only works from FTP to Local. You can edit a file from FTP subfolder and the folder plus file will be reproduced into local. No way to create from Local to FTP. You must create the ftp subfolder by hand :X (Unexpected)
You can manage files by two ways. Creating a profile per folder/proyect or create multiple local cache directories to a single profile. BUT, only the first one will be available (You will reorder it on each use). No magic here :( and it's more easy to create profiles and choose from the droplist at connect.
Anyway, i think the NppFTP is doing the things very well.
I had the same problem. Solved updating the NppFTP plugin to the latest stable version.
Cheers!
