Whenever VEdit has a file open, it creates a .1$$ file with the same name. This creates a problem when I'm editing website files and want to synchronize a local copy of the site with a remote copy, as those .1$$ files "get in the way" of an accurate synchronization.

Is there any way I can disable the creation of those .1$$ files? What are they for, anyway? File locking?

There currently is no way to disable these temp files, although this is something I am currently working on.

Appendix A of the VEDIT User's manual describes these files and VEDIT's
file handling.

How about having option to store the tmp files in a different directory, like the backup files?

Anyway, I don't see why anybody would need to synchronize the files while still editing.
Normal way to create web pages is to edit the files and test them on your own computer. Only when the pages are fully tested, only then you upload and put them online.
