This may be old hat, but it has bitten me again recently and I am surprised this bug is allowed to live. Running SunOS 4.1.4 ftp from SunOS machine A to any other machine B. cd remote directory lcd to any random directory NOT the directory that contains the file you wish to upload. put /absolute/path/to/file This will *ERASE* the file on machine A!
This didn't work on a SunOS 4.1.4 (sun sparc 1). The file is still there after some different ftp to other machines as you decribed.
