Umm inconclusive
asp worked ok, i then created a text file called test1.bin downloaded it, edited and tried it again and it downloaded the new one correctly as well (this is without the ?var=bogus).

Now, for kicks, try with a file with an '.asp' extension. Your ISP's proxy server may have a list of extensions that don't get cached. This would explain why your dynamic JSPs are working but the static files are being cached.

OK I think you are onto something here,
the original file was called file.bin, new file replacing it also called file.bin and renamed to file2.bin
When I use the ?var=bogus the correct file is returned, but when I don't specify a parameter for file.bin it still returns the older file.
http://domain/context/file.bin INCORRECT OLD VERSION
http://domain/context/file.bin?var=bogus OKNEW VERSION
http://domain/context/file2.bin?var=bogus OK NEW VERSION

Try requesting the file with a bogus querystring variable
http://domain/context/file.txt?bogus=var
See if the unique URL gets you the right file.

Can you expand on this please, btw if I change any part of the web application itself such as a jsp the results are imediate.
Two ther bits of info which maybe relevent.
1. The host is based in Canada and hence has time set to Candian time which is earlier than UK time where Im downloading to.
2. The file Im trying to download is a .bin (Linux) file.
The problem is also happening on Internet Explorer.

Sounds like your ISP may have a proxy setup. Usually two different browsers don't know about each other.

I think it is a browser problem because I got a friend to download
from his computer and he received the correct file. Im using Firefox
and still get the same problem.

Also, in the interest of not overlooking the obvious... Did you verify that the FTP write actually worked and that you didn't
accidentally ADD another file with a slightly different name?

File permissions may be part of your problem.
What OS is Tomcat running on?
As for the showing the file after deleting it from the server, did you do a restart of Tomcat after deleting the file? I remember something on the list awhile back similar to this.

Subject: Website downloading old file
Puzzled.
I have a Tomcat 5 application, associated with it a file that can be downloaded from the website, which is in the root directory of the context. (So if the context is called myapp the file is in myapp).
Everything was fine but then I realised that there was a problem with the file so I ftped a new file to replace it.
But when I try to download the file from the website it still refers to the earlier (larger) file.
This still happens even though I have:
shutdown tomcat,
restarted tomcat,
deleted tomcat work directory,
clerared out my browser cache
used a different browser.
It even still allows the file downloads if I delete the file from the server, how can this be ?
