I uploaded files through both file upload core module and filefield. They appeared to work fine until I came back to them a couple days later. All the files have had the 'sitesdefaultfiles' prefix infront of the original file name and now they don't work.
any help would be appreciated.

This report doesn't give me enough information to determine the problem. Could you provide steps on how to reproduce the issue?

I haven't been able to reproduce this problem. I just re-named all the files in the folder and the site is back and working normally...

Closing after inability to reproduce.

I am having the same issue, using both core upload and filefield upload. I initially suspected flashvideo was the culprit ( http://drupal.org/node/534074#comment-1864782 ).

This happens each time on running cron. Worst of all, it's recursive -- 01.mp3 in the folder "audio" will be moved to the root "files" folder with a name of "defaultsitesfilesaudio_01.mp3"

Unless you can provide exact steps to reproduce this problem, I do not think this problem is caused by FileField. Please reopen if steps can be provided starting with a fresh Drupal install.
