Has anyone found this flaw with filezilla and using dreamweaver as the editor if you open 2 files from different directories with the same name i.e index.html from the root directory and index.html from a directory within that root directory it will ask if you want to override it. I always have to quit out whenever I do this because I don't know which directory the original index.html (or other files with same names from different directories) will save into whether it keeps track of it or if it errors. Or is it consider bad practice to use the same file name in different directories and this shouldn't really be an issue?

It doesn't really matter if you use the same file names in the same directories.. Sometimes you need to forexample:

www/
index.php
style.css
script.js

Effects
index.html
style.js


For something like that it would be ok.

What if those were of the same type though, still the same result? like style.js in effects or index.html in www/

I think it would be but I don't get why dreamweaver/filezilla is having a problem with it.

I think that it would still be fine, even if the tables were turned to look like:
www/
index.php
style.css
script.js

Effects
index.php
script.js
