Problem replacing old file

#1 Post by GerryWolff » 2021-07-14 15:59

In uploading files with FileZilla, it often happens that, although FileZilla seems to overwrite old versions of uploaded files, the old version persists when I view the file with Firefox. This happens even though I press the shift key while reading the file into Firefox.

Can anyone explain why this happens and how to fix the problem.

With thanks,

Gerry

Your hosting provider might do server-side caching of some sort. This is often the case with load balancing. New files uploaded by you are a cache miss and will load normally, but, overwritten files will still be a cache hit and the server will load them from the cache for some time. Eventually, the cache will be refreshed and use the newer files.
