When I copy a file to the remote site and rename it, the files sometimes gets deleted! Other clients allow me to rename the file without loosing it....

Michael, it shouldn't be deleting the files. They are being moved. Bug 194204 is open for this. Based on the console log the renamed file should be in /. Since the cwd is / and RNTO doesn't specify the path for the renamed file, it is moved to the cwd. The workaround currently is to refresh twice on the file you want to rename before doing the rename. This will ensure the cwd is correct.
oh no! I tried to rename a file to index.html. It was overwriting (without question) the index.html in my root directory, that's worse than deleting the file.... Even if a workaround this exists, it is very dangerous. Suppose, you maintain a web-page, put something confidential into a password protected area and rename the file. It'll appear as home-page!
oh wow, thats very nasty. What I have done for now is switch to using ssh connection for any web work. I've changed the severity of bug 194204 to critical based on your comments.
...well I only have ftp access to the webserver :-/
It's a really nasty effect caused by moving files sometimes when renaming them. It's fixed now by fixing bug 194204 (Renaming Files/Folders moves them sometimes) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 194204 ***
