Using FP 2000 with a Linux ISP and Front Page Extensions enabled.

I have been using this setup for some time but the file sync doesn't seem to
function the way I thought it would.

I have at least one file that always is uploaded even though this file has
not changed in over 3 months.

I updated another file with the same name but with a newer time stamp and it
did not get uploaded. I had to change the name in order to force it to
update. FP did recognize that the old file was still on the server and ask
me if I wanted to remove it, so that works OK.

I noticed there are about 40 files, images, button gifs, etc that are on the
server but are not on my devl system any more, why don't these guys get
deleted?

Is there a way to synchronize these two systems so that only files currently
in use are present on both systems?

TIA, GWB

Have you contacted your host about this issue?

No, how would my host be the issue?

The files on the server were originally used in the web pages and either
replaced or updated by me using FP2K.

I would have thought that FP would recognize the differences between systems
and remove the extras since they are not used any more. (or prompt me for
instructions)

The thrust of my questions was more to what I should expect FP should do,
not necessarily that there is a problem somewhere.

Thanks

FP is interacting with the FP extensions on the live/remote server which is why you need to contact
your web host.

Ask your web host to run a server health check on the extensions for your account.

OK, I get the picture. I'll ask them.

Thanks
