Re: ftp creates duplicate files

Are you saving files you've created directly onto the server?
For best results what you should be doing is saving the file locally and
then FTP to the server.

I am running Dreamweaver MX on OS X and my PHP site is located on a Linux
server. The site is set to edit remotely via FTP. Every time I save a

file, it is appended a sequential number at the end instead of replacing the
original file. For example. The first time I save file.php, it is saved
correctly. The second time I save the file, it is saved as file.php.1, the
next save creates file.php.2, and so on. How do I make Dreamweaver MX to
overwrite the file?

I found the problem and it had nothing to do with Dreamweaver. Apparently the ftp server (pure-ftp) was set to not overwrite files but rather rename them by appending a sequence number to the end.
