Re: Remove File Change Prompt (Help Make FileZilla A Lot Fas

In the case of a database, I can't see how:
1) You would even set FileZilla to upload from there. Doesn't FileZilla set that the file is saved in a temporary folder and opened with a text editor? Thus, you would have to:
(a) Have the database program as your default text editor for some reason, or
(b) Point your database program to use the newly created temporary file to store things,
neither of which seem very likely to happen.
2) In addition, the timing would still have to be exactly perfect, so the database would be unused for a full second, then used at exactly the right moment. Different settings would further decrease the likelihood.
I also don't understand why if a file is locked to be uploaded, you can write to it at all (such to cause data loss).
Finally, I question the claim that it's impossible to tell if a file is being written to in Windows. Didn't you say that files being written to could not be renamed, and thus you can at the very least tell it's being written to because it can't be renamed.
What would be interesting to see is if you can copy the file, then upload it. In this way, the original file is never locked.
