Bug: first "upload selected files"...

This is rather obscure -- not sure if you'll be able to reproduce it, but here goes...

1. Using FileZilla, I created a directory under the HTML parent directory (on my server it's: /var/www/html/MyNewDir/)
2. I created a new Website Project and then created a new file and saved it locally as "index.html".
3. In the Local Disk tree, I right clicked on the "index.html" filename and selected "Upload Selected Files" from the popup-menu.
4. This resulted in an "unable to create remote path: /var/www/html/MyNewDir/" error.
5. Using FileZilla, I opened an FTP connection with my remote server (the same one I set up in the Website Project), and uploaded the "index.html" file to the MyNewDir path.
6. Again, I right clicked on the "index.html" filename and selected "Upload Selected Files" (the same as in step 3. above).
7. After selecting "Yes" to the question "Overwrite File?", the file uploaded with no error.
8. Using FileZilla, I verified that the "Last Modified" date on the ./MyNewDir/index.html file had changed to the new upload time.
9. Using FileZilla, I deleted the remote index.html file.
10. I tried uploading the file from the CoffeeCup HTML Editor one more time, and again the "unable to create remote path: /var/www/html/MyNewDir/" error occurred.

I configured the Website Project as follows:

Remote Root Folder: /var/www/html/MyNewDir [I tried it with and without a trailing '/' -- I also tried just MyNewDir and MyNewDir/]

Server URL: http://www.mydomain.com/MyNewDir/ [I also tried just http://www.mydomain.com]



I'm running HTML Editor 2010 Build 318 on WinXP SP3
When we look at the things around us, we only see them as they were in the past. We really have no perception of reality, at all!

Try pausing any firewalls or virus protection before attempting to upload from HTML Editor. If that doesn't work I suggest putting in a Support Ticket via Get Support on the purple toolbar above.
I know you believe you understand what you think I said...but I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not exactly what I meant.
