Uploaded website changes but they aren't showing online and/or FTP isn't working

Hey,

I spent all day yesterday updating a website, when I was done I used FTP Rush to upload the updates to the BT Business server. I've done this many times before (although not recently) without problems. According to the "server" side directory listing on Rush FTP the files were uploaded fine and are all there, however when viewing on any browser on my PC (and several other PCs) the new/updated pages aren't showing.

I've tried clearing cache, history etc. but still nothing. I decided to try Filezilla instead, again according to the server file directory, all files are there and correct (last updated yesterday/today etc) but still nothing.

As a final attempt I've used the BT website centre and uploaded just the home page. It didn't work at first although it now appears to have done, as did one other page I uploaded.

If it's just an FTP thing, any idea why that isn't working? All my settings (login etc) are correct, but they aren't updating, despite the FTP client showing all the updated/new files on the "server" side.

EDIT: Nevermind, it appears to be working now for some unknown reason. But for future reference anyone know what could cause the above problem/s?

Ok spoke too soon. It's doing it again. I'm on the BT Website Centre, looking at a webpage I've just uploaded using the file manager. I can see it sat there in the file list of the source directory yet when I navigate to that page on the web I get "Webpage cannot be found"

This is incredibly frustrating. I can slightly understand FTP software throwing a wobbly, perhaps I've entered details incorrectly or something, but to see the file sat there on the server on BT's own website centre but still not be able to access it, well something is wrong there.
