I'd like to be able to upload files into a webfm directory using FTP, over-writing older versions of the same file. Then have WebFM detect the new file size and modified date and display it correctly. Ideally this would happen automatically, but even a bulk update button would be cool. And it should propagate the new information to the attachment tables on any node where the file is attached.

The long way around is to delete the old file from the database, then add the new one back to the database--which sort of works, but isn't very convenient. The other problem is that if I've attached the file to a node, the updated info doesn't seem to transfer to the attachment table on that node unless I do the drop/add routine there as well.

Maybe I'm missing something and this should be a support request? Thanks for your help.

Thanks--WebFM seems like an excellent product.

As per #803722: Cease support of Drupal 5? support for D4 and D5 has been closed. Sorry, please upgrade to Drupal 6. If you think this issue still applies with Version 6.x please reopen this issue with correct version tag.

Thank you! :-)

@webmaster_prwa re-opening ticket because issue still applies for 6.x-2.15.

likewise I would like to update files using FTP and then have some better means to update the file size and date. currently the only way I can see is to detach the file from the node, remove from the database, and then re-attach.

May there is a better way already? Thanks for any help.
