I'm making some additions and changes to a client's site. I've decided to preserve what's left of my sanity by creating a 'test bed' so that if I fuck anything up, the main site is cool. I can't tell you the number of times I made the teensiest, tiniest change only to have the whole thing collapse. This is usually followed by me being up all night fixing it.
So I'm FTPing files to the test site, duplicating a striped down version of the original. And twice, twice mind you, when I FTP'ed 2 files at the same time (which I've done countless times over the years), FileZilla somehow transposed the file names. File A became File B, and File B became File A. I've never seen this happen before!!! I know FileZilla has had caching problems (not uploading the fresh copy but holding the old copy), but this is positively psychotic! Dammit...I *like* the friggin program, too.
Bueller? Anybody?

Like the transfers are internally represented in a data structure (a linked list, for example) that gets accessed improperly or something.
Not that there's anything you can do about it if it is.
Other than report the bug and hope they fix it eventually.
What pisses me off the most is...I *hate* to change software. Moving from WS-FTP to FileZilla was a BIG FREAKIN DEAL for me! I was comfortable with WS-FTP! Then I made the change (b/c DWS-Scudder peeps required it), and I *like* FZ!
Don't make me change again! Waaahhhhaaaaaaa!
I'm pathetic, huh? :)
(picture hordes of people running and looking frantically over their shoulders....)
Sounds like a pain in the ass. I've never heard of a program doing that, but I liked your friends' hypotheses.
