I can attest to the fact that it creates a real MESS
So does Merge navigation (this choice should have padlock on it, imo)
| Overwrite works, but doesn't delete content on the remote server, so if you upload the wrong site
| with the content of another, then if you overwrite the correct content, you will still have content
| from the wrong site in the site, unless all of your pages and images are named the same.
|
| If the site already open in the current FP session, you are not prompted, and the publishing starts
| immediately, if the site is has not been open in the current FP session your prompted to login,
| giving you a change to change your mind.
|
| The STOP button has a impact on the extensions on a remote server, even if no files have been
| transferred.
