I've come across a strange problem.
I uploaded some files to some new directories on a website. Everything seems to have worked ok, except that I ended up with a file named "11:10 mysql_class.php". This file does NOT exist on my computer (from which I uploaded the files). There IS a file "mysql_class.php", but not one beginning with "11:10".
The size of this "11:10" file is shown as 22 bytes, but the date and time shown are 'odd' (not correct). And when I try to delete this 'file', I get an error "No such file or directory".
I checked with the file admin program on the webserver, and it does not show this file. Also, other FTP programs do not show this file.
I've tried uninstalling COREFTP and re-installing it, making sure that I've got the latest version, but it still shows this 'phantom' file.
Any ideas as to what's going on, and how to get it out of the listing in COREFTP?

'Phantom' Files and Directories
Check the server type of the connection In the general section of the advanced options.
If it is set wrong, the filenames might be interpreted incorrectly by the program. (When I use Linux L8 as server type to connect to a FreeBSD FTP server, I get the same behaviour you describe). Setting the server type to auto remedies this. If auto doesn't work, try to figure out which type of server you're connecting to.
