Has this ever happened to you? I’ve done a fair share of jumping from one web host to another. One of the biggest pains is moving a bunch of WordPress installs. Invariably, I’ll have at least one WP install that ends up with either two admin pages swapped or the buttons will look like this screen shot.
I can’t quite figure out what is causing it. My guess is that it is occurring during the FTP process and either a file gets a wrong name or somehow gets swapped with another. I can usually correct it by re-uploading certain sections of my WP install, but I’ve never really paid attention to which files fix it.
As for FTP clients, I’ve yet to find one I’m absolutely in love with. I have a love-hate relationship with both SmartFTP and Filezilla. Both seem to serve me well about 80-90% of the time. Filezilla seems to handle transfer problems better (giving me more ability to retry failures without just failing again every time like SmartFTP seems to do). I suppose I want an FTP client that can verify that all files were uploaded exactly as they should for me. Kind of like when I burn a CD or create a ZIP/RAR archive–the program verifies everything afterwards.
