As for the “I feel like I’m being ignored” part, sorry I don’t mean to sound so harsh. I’m referencing the Dialogue Box that I *ALWAYS* have to click Overwrite on, sometimes hundreds sometimes thousands of times a day, and having to do so REALLY gets to me.

I look forward to the day Textastic can become fully customizable such that I can even customize the user interface and what does or doesn’t show, as I don’t always want everything there. SSH connections are one thing I would often hide. But other times I might not want to use Texstastic for web development but might just want to use it as if I’m using Notepad on windows, or in place of Pages for plain text, and in this case I would want to hide most of the UI, including the File Transfer button and drop menu, and even Symbols.

Basically, I really believe Textastic is an awesome plain text app for any use, but my biggest issue will always be that pesky Overwrite dialogue box.

1. I do store ALL my files in iCloud

2. Happens on iPad, however it has occurred on iPhone even with as little as I use it for iPhone. On rare occasion and if I don’t need to do immediate uploads, I might use my iPhone to update the files (pull down to refresh and then select and upload) while I use my iPad to make changes. The iPhone is a sort of assistive PDA.
3. I use the File Transfer window, the left and right arrow.

It is very difficult to reproduce these errors, and I’m more suspicious that it’s iOS/iPadOS rather than Textastic. I encounter weird issues with iOS all the time, especially unusual visual errors such as on the app drawer, and often the only fix is to restart my iPhone or iPad. Nonetheless, these issues do occur, and I’ll work to be more proficient at tracking and recording how these issues occur. Textastic is genuinely the most useful app on iOS, and it really makes or breaks iOS/iPadOS for me!

As for the file size not showing correctly in properties, I seem to have encountered that similar or same issue. When the file isn’t uploading, I notice sometimes it does update on the server, so then I get confused thinking maybe I have an error in my code, until I realize the file on the server hasn’t been updated for such a period of time and that the file size differs from the one I’m attempting to upload.

I haven’t really had this issue in the past, and it seems to work for my other domains so I’m not sure… I’m using Siteground for some and others for others. But this one Siteground website has the issue I’m describing, and I’ve tried everything, including SFTP. I’ve tried ALL the options that Textastic has to offer. I also get weird formatting bugs where the HTML, CSS, and even PHP is just white and you have to make a change in order for it to fix, but the change usually has to be hitting enter or something, but even that doesn’t always work. I dunno… I keep using Textastic day-by-day, but it’s just not fun anymore… I really miss the good ole’ days of Notepad++ where I didn’t have issues and the text search and selection options were far more advanced and just worked. I might switch back to Notepad++ and just use Filezilla again cause Textastic drives me up the wall on a daily basis with the nuanced issues.

Also, it’s not like Textastic even has a Donate option, and I’ve communicated with you many times over what has now been years, and you really don’t seem to care about any of these issues. I’m really ready to just stop altogether and go back to where I was happy and didn’t need anything to be fixed or updated. That being said, if I don’t tell you my frustrations, you’ll never hear them, either.

And yes, you have fixed some annoying bugs and I thank you for that, but at the end of the day when the app doesn’t meet my standards, it only slows me down and the only option I have is to tell you where it’s annoying me. I would even go as far as to say that if I could hide certain buttons in Textastic, I certainly would, because it’s useful for more than developing. Textastic has the potential to replace most text-related apps in the App Store, but any time I suggest something you think it’s out of scope, dangerous (hence the upload dialogue ordeal I’ve been complaining about over what seems like FOREVER now), or outright not an issue.

*update*
The connection issue seems to be resolved… I don’t know if I had a spelling error or if the issue resolved on its own. Regardless, I look forward to either not using Textastic anymore, or Textastic being updated to resolve my grievances.

This IS (likeyl) a bug and it has existed forever in Textastic… the fix used to be opening the files again inside Textastic and attempt uploading again, but now that doesn’t even work. Some files upload without any issue, while others absolutely refuse to be uploaded.

*edit*
I’ve tried EVERYTHING. I even changed from explicit auth over ssl to just plain FTP unencrypted. Changing to plain FTP fixed my issue, FINALLY, so it might have something to do with my server’s security certificate…?

*edit2*
Okay, so I realized Force HTTPS was not on, and I usually have it on. So I turned it on with Auth over SSL and got the same partial uploads. I switched back to plain FTP and tried uploading again and had no issue. I’m not sure why this is an issue, but I can’t fix it like I used to, and it seems just uploading without security is most reliable.
