index.php3?

[ilya]

I didn't have any problem like that with my index.php3..
It wasn't on FQ, though, but i don't think it should give you any error

I think the problem is that you had 2 index files and CuteFTP didn't know which of them was the real index. This happens if you have a file named index.html and one named index.php3

There are a couple of ways around it. If you're not using both files (like if index.php3 has superceded index.html) then just delete the one that's outdated. If for some reason you want both an index.html AND an index.php3 you need to have CuteFTP mask one of them. Open CuteFTP, go to the FTP menu, click settings, click "Index file mask..." and enter the name of the file you want masked. Then CuteFTP will only "see" one of those index files and will stop prompting you about it.

This is a CuteFTP problem - FTP programs see any file named "index" to be an index file - when you connect to an FTP download site, generally an index file will provide CuteFTP with a description for each file - by default, Cute is configured to automatically download the index file and show the descriptions, but warns if it is more than 10k (else it could get slow when moving around a lot).

It knows that index.html/htm/shtml etc are not to be used as an FTP index - you can add extentions to this list, though I do not remember where... Somewhere in Cute's options, there should be a place to add extentions so that it does not download your index.php3 file as an FTP index file...

Hope this helps.

That did the trick. I think the new version of CuteFTP may do this automatically. The bad thing is that, when I dowloaded the latest version recently, it had that "punch the monkey" banner embedded in the toolbar. I sure hope that isn't the wave of the future...

Is it a bad idea to have an 'index.php3'? It seemed to work fine when I tried it but CuteFTP kept warning me of the file size when it was only 19k. I renamed it and the warning didn't come up again. Does index mean something else to the PHP server?
