I have installed the new FP, but left my old copy in place as a backup. This
was a good move.

When I go to publish my local copy of my web to the remote server, which has
FP server extentions installed, FP tells me that I have three copies of the
"Images" directory. Then it starts giving me error messages telling me that
all of the contents of the remote "Images" directory do not exist on my
local source. Of course, this isn't true.

Every time I click on the remote "Images" directory to check the files, FP
adds another copy of it to the remote site. If I click "refresh" all but one
of them disappear.

What can I do? I am running Windows 2000.

Thanks,

Lenny
 
Did you open your local and remote sites in FP and run Tools Recalculate Hyperlinks in each?
- or Publish All at least once after the upgrade?

If you are using both versions of FP on the same web from the same machine, you will probably get corrupt meta data (each versions
changes will not necessarily be recognized by the other version)
Before opening FP
1) In Windows Explorer Find and delete all FP Temp Files
2) In Windows Explorer Find and delete all hidden *.web (web cache) files

How do I locate FP's Temp Files?

deleting the *.web files seemed to do the trick.

thanks!
