It's ok Jim, it is no big prob. I have no idea about it and
cannot say if the one program is causing the trouble on different
servers (that I used the same program is surely not strong
evidence... but you may be right? I think others have had this
prob with other ftp programs and I vahuely recall having it with
Transmit ages ago (a Mac FTP client). Now I use Cyberduck,
another Mac FTP client.

I guess I better one day ask the server people to delete these
pesky half-living things! I did what I described in OP, using
Cyberduck to a commercial Unix server. Just usual stuff of file
loading and deleting for websites.
