File transfer won't overwrite

Post by mewnlite »

I am trying to copy updated files from a remote machine. I get a warning that the same file exists on my machine with choices of "yes", "yes to all", "no", and "no to all". I have picked "yes" and "yes to all". The choice window goes away but the file doesn't transfer. If I delete the file on my machine first, then the new file transfers fine.
I started out with 1.02 and applied the 1.04 update. It wasn't working in 1.02 either.
What is my problem?
Thanks!

The file transfer code checks the source file and destination file block by block to see if they're the same. Only different blocks are transferred. I'd guess that the file you're trying to overwrite is the same as the source file, with the exception of the file date.

OK. Thanks. That may have been it. I made sure the file was altered on the remote machine and tried it again. It worked OK.
