    [Forum] While Uploading

    I use Fila Zilla When Uploading and while uploading the files, SOmetimes it pops up and says one of the files is already created, Over write, Rename, Resume, skip etc.

    I don't know which one to press cause I don't want to mess up any files, cause I finally am getting the hang of how to work these and get them set up.

    Any one can help me?

    If a file already exists then you do not need another the same so do not replace, liken it to going to the supermarket with a shopping list, when you get to the checkout you find two items the same when you only want one.

      When you are uploading them to upgrade your forum click on overwrite.
      The filename is the same but might have a different content.

        Not necessarily true as per beishe8's reply...

          Well that makes a whole lot of sense !!!!!!! what IS the point of files having the same name and different content ????, If I buy two tins of spam from the shop am I foolish to expect spam in both of them !!!

            Sorry Josiah1...
            The solution to your problem is : do not ever upgrade your software,then you won't face such huge problem.

              I thank you for that.......it is not my intention to be contentious and I bow to your experience, sincerely, but you must see my point ?

              Apologies for the Hi-Jack.

                The point is: files could have errors.

                On my site there is a file called calc.htm > 3+1=5

                Is that true?
                If someone finds it not to be true and brings it to my attention then I am more than happy to correct it in the same file on my computer and upload it to my site,overwriting the old calc.htm.
                And a thank you goes to "someone" for bringing it to my attention.

                  When we release Bug fixes, some files have code changes - do you want us to have to rename the files every time one changes then have to change every reference to that file in every other file/template? No, we just use the same filename.
