I have an update I need to install on my web server and I'd like to FTP the new files. I can't find a way to allow existing files to be overwritten on the server if I choose. Am I missing something?

Roy,

When you start to upload the replacement file, a window should appear giving you the option to click on overwrite, resume, or skip. If you click on overwrite, the new file should replace the old file.

It doesn't show a window giving me that option. It just stops uploading the file. In the status window the message "can't upload file, already exists" or something like that is displayed.

I suggest you uninstall, reboot, download the file and do a clean install.

Let us know what happens.

It would be nice to have this option could be set in the preferences.
Now with every connection the window pops up...
(also right mouse uploading is missing, and doubleclick uploading should be nice)
