My CMS generate a batch file for FTP upload.

It's like

put index.htm index.htm.new
delete index.htm
rename index.htm.new index.htm

This is to minimize the downtime of a page while the upload occures.

But one time, I was in the WLAN of the press center of a big German fair. They had some strange fire wall setings.

The delete command worked
The rename command worked, but returned file not found

But why?

The reason was, that the put command did not work, but unil I found out the reason, all files on my best earning domain had been deleted.

For luck, an other FTP programm worked and I had retored all after about 1,5 hours.
