Suddenly stopped working - but says it is working

[dodgearodge]

I've been using Version 1.3c for 10 months without any major headaches, then it suddenly stopped working.

For example, I have an empty directory 'z' and transferred andrex.jpg from my local directory to the online 'z' directory:

Code: Select all

Connect socket #612 to nn.nn.nn.nn port 26465...
150 Accepted data connection
226-ASCII
226-Options: -a -l
226 3 matches total
Transferred 187 bytes in 0.016 seconds

and also with a text based file:

Code: Select all

Connect socket #640 to nn.nn.nn.nn port 64018...
150 Accepted data connection
226-ASCII
226-Options: -a -l
226 4 matches total
Transferred 256 bytes in 0.015 seconds

Now, I check if these two files are ACTUALLY there, or just pretending to be there:

a) use alternative FTP tool -> can't find these files
b) use hosting company's file manager -> can't find these files
c) use browser -> 404 File Not Found

If I then exit Core FTP and re-enter the site, moving to the 'z' directory, I am show:

andrex.jpg 2KB 02/03/08 10:13 -rw-r--r--
boxform.htm 744 02/03/08 10:13 -rw-r--r--

So why is Core FTP insisting that these two files are there, but every other mechanism I can think of, can't see them?

I also loaded a new copy of Core FTP Version 2.0 build 1539 and still get the same error. (I am a registered user).

I am mystified why the excellent tool has suddenly stopped working.

Any hints would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Both files mentioned:
550 Can't check for file existence.

Thanks for your swift reply. Sorry for my slow reply.

Here is the log: (Sorry - I don'[t have the PC in front of me right now, to do the "Directory Commands" - will do so later)

I deleted the log, and regenerated - starting from scratch:
