File doesn't exists, but it does!

This is strange. I have a webpage file that I can see when I FTP in to my account, and I can drag and drop a copy to my desktop. But if I try to delete it, or rename it, or access it via the web, I get a "File not found" message.

Is this something I should get tech support to look at, or is there something I can do to eliminate the phantom file?
 
Hello,

It may have an odd extension that does not have a MIME type on the server, so IIS won't serve it up.
 
It has a .cfm extension, and this file worked fine until made some minor code changes and uploaded the new file. Even if it was something wierd, if it shows up in the FTP folder, isn't it being recognized, and shouldn't I be able to delete it?
 
Maybe some permissions didn't get set for your username, have support reset permissions on it. (Your username has to have access to it for it to work online, IIS runs as your username)
 
I can make changes, add and delete other .cfm files, in the same directory. It is just this one file that isn't "cooperating". I'll gladly open a ticket, if I knew what to ask them to do!
 
Just ask them to reset permissions, seems very odd that one file is like that, I agree.
