Mention if you use GUI or scripting/automation. If you use GUI, specify interface style you are using (Commander or Explorer). Don't know that this is - sorry!

I open a Dreamweaver page, update it and save the updates (they are there the next time I open the page in DW).

BUT - when I open WinSCP - only an outdated version of the page shows in the local pane, easily spotted by the old date beside the file. In the "preferences" section under "Options" I have checked all except "continue on error." I have used DW and WinSCP for years and have had no problems even though I am a rank amateur mostly volunteering for my community. Event dates need to be changed right now, and I'm very concerned.

I'm not sure I understand your workflow. In Dreamweaver, do you work directly on the server or are you editing local files (which you then upload with WinSCP)?

It usually happens when i save the file (the code looks normal, but if i close and open the file again it has a lot of blank lines not just one in between).

My editor is Dreamweaver CS5 at work and CS6 at home. What should i tell you more? Oh, at work i have 4.3.8 (Build 1771) version and at home, the latest.

So do you use Dreamweaver as external editor in WinSCP? Note that this thread is about an internal editor of WinSCP.

Try disabling Force text transfer mode for files edited in external editor:

WinSCP is really the best! I really like it but the bug with the blank lines is really annoying. I really don't know what to do to avoid those. Please, i beg you, give me a fix.

Thank you in advance, please, don't ask me for more information and come with a solution. Thank you again :)

Can you provide me an original (server-side) copy of one of your php files?
Also please attach a session log file showing editing of that file. Thanks.

Please read:
https://winscp.net/eng/docs/task_edit

Check your preferences. There you are able to set a default editor.

also, when i edit a php file,
it inserts a blank line among the two lines and the codes becomes such:

line1

line2

line3

(instead, it should not add any blank lines and should be such:
line1
line2
line3 etc...
