If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

WROTD - windows rant of the day (in case you wondered)
I just spent 4 hours debugging some logging code (refactor operation, I can't take the lunacy any longer). So, code changes done, time to test on the device. Let things run, all looks good. Ftp the file (using Windows Explorer) from device to desktop. Windows Explorer says:
"Yo, dude. That file already exists. Do you want to replace the old file with the new file?"
Yes, I sure do. Click the overwrite option. Open the file. Nothing has changed. Hmmm, logger is broken, go debug...
Time passes.... repeat Windows Explorer drag / drop ftp operation multiple times. Nothing changes in the log file (but the sizes show ever increasing file on the target device). Keep debugging... can't find it in the debugger.
Pop the SD card out the logger uses, pop it into laptop - file magically has all the log messages. 
No error messages on the ftp, looks like the file copies, file does not copy. This is in my home office. Go to customer lab. ftp operation works. Double
The development network is all static IP going through hubs. I'm thinking firewall issues, but no error messages. Ideas? Other than rum, too early for rum.

I'd agree - I use FileZilla.
WE is rally useless at it.

FileZilla[^] is free. Save yourself the headaches from Windows Explorer caching everything under the sun.

That's where you're wrong right there.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.
Ya can't fix stupid.

Rum - had to give the lounge something to work with... I agree - WE has it's issues, but I guess I got lulled into a false sense of security. Bloody forehead and all, I won't repeat the mistake but ffs, no error messages? Issues? Why Microsoft? Why even support ftp with WE.
