Wondering if you can help me with a problem I’m having. There are certain files that Transmit uploads even though they were just uploaded the night before. The transcript says “No such file or directory” but the exact same files, with the same names are already on the server. This only happens with certain files. I’m running the “Synchronize Files” script and have specified “upload” and “update.” Any help would be much appreciated.

The problem with the Avenir autosave is that it overwrites previous autosaves, which is essentially useless as a backup. And if you accidentally delete a scene or a chapter in Avenir, you are screwed. Thanks for this wonderful script and the clear instructions.
