File Prompt works on download but not on upload

I have been using Smart FTP for a few years and was always prompted for overwrite of existing files both on upload and download. Since the upgrade to v3, i am getting a prompt when downloading, but uploads just go straight to the transfer queue and process immediately. The File Exists option within the Events / Transfer pane is set to Prompt.

Is there something obvious I've missed?

Please post the log from the log window in the Remote Browser. Maybe its a case sensitivity problem.

Thanks for your help

From the log I can see that the file you are trying to upload (userprttoday.asp) does not exist on the server. At least that is what the server is telling SmartFTP:
[23:05:33] MLST userprttoday.asp
[23:05:33] 550 File or directory not found.

You should contact your web hosting provider and ask them to upgrade to the server software because they are using an old version (from 2005) of Gene6 FTP server:
220 Gene6 FTP Server v3.6.0 (Build 23) ready...

The newest one is v3.9.0

Thanks for this. The file actually DID exist on the server before the upload, and as I originally reported, this happens for all the uploads I make. One thing I have noticed is that the size for the 'new' file seems to be 0KB on the server initially, but appears the next time I start SmartFTP. The file itself is definitely OK as new functionality always appears immediately.

I'm not sure whether you're suggesting the version of the FTP software on the host server is the cause of this problem? Before I contact my hosting provider, I'd like to be sure that I've got a good reason for the request, particularly as the problem coincided with an upgrade of SmartFTP.

Please contact your web hosting provider to upgrade to the latest version of Gene6.

Hi:

My hosting provider have responded that they are not planning to upgrade Gene6 at the moment because they are not encountering any problems with their current version.

They pointed me to Filezilla which I have installed on a different client PC and which gives me the file exists prompt in both directions without any problem, so unfortunately this might have to be the way I go in the future.

Thanks

Did you install the latest version of SmartFTP?

But in any case it's clearly a bug with the server software.
