I'm looking at the files and folders on my remote server using Smart FTP.
There are many subfolders and it appears that there might be duplicate files
but spread out throughout these subfolders. It looks like the subfolders a
re being generated on my computer. So, the question is if it's downloading
the same file to different folders (which is what it seems like it's doing)
why should there be a conflict? And if I change or delete these won't it
casue a problem with the themes or navigational structure?
