I got no error, but the files didn't change either in one particular directory. All the others worked Ok, and permissions looked Ok as well. SSH'd with Putty and used vim and all was well. So some more experimenting with WinSCP is in order. @Archaeogeek: I've been using FireFTP, and it works well, but sometimes I just like to drop into the command line or write a script to handle some recurring task. I'll check out psftp. I'll add a reminder to do an update on my experiences with Vista in a few months. Ok, thanks to you both.

I'd be interested to know your thoughts on Vista in a few months time- I was quite happy with it for ages but then it started to get annoying (stopping running programmes that it had happily run, for no obvious reason), and the difficulty in actually finding anything out about what the problem is just really got to me in the end.
