6.3 to 6.2 / Files and folders are removed from target dir when I drag&drop new files

Hey there,

very strange – I needed to downgrade from from latest 6.3 to all versions of 6.2 and in solved my problem only in 6.1.2 / I tried on several different servers – all the same. Let me explain it in short.

I have existing folders with sub-folders like this:
When I copy now from a other directory same structure over to that above then A empties itself after drag&drop the other folders with same names instead of just override the existing files.
After drag&drop
are gone! and I have only the test.php file inside. I used that many years to push my overrides back again after core-update of e.g. a CMS.

I tested the newer versions so it seemes to be a bug.

Can you check that?

Best Regards,

Indeed, there have been some related changes.
But to give you a definitive answer, I need to know what exactly do you drag and where exactly do you drop it?
Do you drag the three selected A, B and C folders and do you drop them to empty space in remote panel with opened root folder?

Hello Martin,

thank you for you fast reply. I drag from "right remote dir" to "left remote tree" (both on same server).

I copy marked green folders with Strg/Cmd into blue one / after dropping then the red folders are emptied and contain only my override files from green – what is not the usual behaviour.

Check the attached image please.

Ok, thanks. And what protocol? And is it direct duplication (if the server allows that)? Or via a temporary local copy?

Hello Martin,

I totally forgot to write but I also forgot this "thing" - I painfully needed to check it again a hour ago when I moved some folders and needed to restore them from backup.

Protocol: SFTP

I don´t understand the other both questions. I can only say that this happens also in latest versions.

@FooBar: I mean the checkbox on the duplicate dialog:

Though maybe I've misunderstood the question. Are you moving or copying/duplicating? As it happens recently, maybe you are able to reproduce it? Are you? Can you record a screencast of the problem?

I mark in the green folders and drag them in tree into that blue one.

Red folders have of course lot of folders inside. But once I drop greens into blue then red are complete empty and then there are only that folders left that are contained in green.

They get emptied. I can shere AynDesk with you and show you...
