Thanks, Dean. Yes, I did.
I went back to the host today and talked with a different consultant. She
assured me that the original pages are still on the server, so that explains
why, not only me, but also a couple of friends with Windows machine also were
getting the unchanged pages.
So I simply deleted the old files and re-uploaded the new files. Problem
solved!
Of course, that still leaves the question of why the initial uploads did not
overwrite the existing files as usually happens. My FTP app is Fetch which I’ve
been using for years with no problem. Maybe it’s El Capitan?

Did you try going to the Develop menu in Safari and selecting the Empty Cache

Subject: [muglo] Problem displaying new web page
To: muglo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hi
Using MacBook Pro with Mac OS 10.11 and Safari:
After amending 2 pages on the website rlmi.ca <http://rlmi.ca/> I find Safari
continues to display the former pages. I have confirmed with the host,
webcentre.ca <http://webcentre.ca/>, that nothing amiss with the 2 new pages
and thus problem must be at my end!
I’m assuming that the offending pages must be cached somewhere on my MBP. I
launched Safari and clicked on “Empty Caches” but problem not solved. Getting
desperate I googled the problem and found something called
How to Flush DNS Cache in Mac OS X EI Capitan: 10.11, 10.10.4
The description includes " it accept DNS quires from local clients such as
web browsers (Safari, Google chrome)” which sounds relevant. To clear the DNS
cache one uses Terminal and enters "sudo dscacheutil -flushcache;sudo killall
-HUP mDNSResponder” and then to reset the cache enter "sudo killall -HUP
mDNSResponder” into Terminal. Well that didn’t work either. Beats me.
Anyone out there who can tell me what I should be doing?
Appreciate any help or sympathy!
Bob
