I have been blissfully using Geany in concert with gvfs for some time to easily edit files on a remote server. All of a sudden, when I save changes to a file with Geany (using an ftp connection via gvfs), the file will append rather than overwrite. It will only do this on some remote servers, not others. Can anyone suggest a way to go about troubleshooting this problem? Thank you.

this is weird. First of all, Geany doesn't do anything special to remote files (yet). It just opens the file for writing and this means the file is first truncated and then data will be written.
I think your problem is more in GVFS or in FUSE especially because you say it happens only on some servers. Could you please give some details on used versions of GVFS, Geany, and your operating system?
Also, it would be interesting what other non-GVFS enabled applications do like Scite or Leafpad.

Thanks for the reply.
I'm running:
Ubuntu Hardy GNOME 2.22.3 Geany 0.13
I do have the same problem if I use Leafpad, so obviously it is not a Geany problem. Can I ask you for some gratuitous advice on this anyway?

Geany 0.14 is available on http://www.getdeb.net/app/Geany :).

The probably best thing is to report a bug on http://bugzilla.gnome.org/, using the 'gvfs' component. Right now, I don't know what else you could do :(.
