First thing to understand is that this is a harmless warning.
Yes, you will overwrite a file created by (or modified by) another document. But if you upload, you will only upload the changed files relative to your current server folder. The only possible down-side is that you will definitely end up with some renamed graphics (and your number of modified HTML files may increase as a result).
Freeway always creates an internally-consistent published site.
If you subsequently move to the document that thinks it owns the site folder, you will get the same error again when you next publish – and it is still harmless.
Freeway generates the complete site (or as much of it as is different from the last publish) each time you press publish or upload. If in the process of generating the site it encounters a file it does not know about (and, as in this case, this can simply mean a file that already exists) then it will do one of two things: if the file in question is an HTML file, it will show the alert you have seen, and if the file is a resource of one kind or another, it will simply rename the file it is about to publish, tacking a letter or number on to the filename to step around the conflict. If you get the alert, and you okay it, then Freeway will generate the file it was going to generate anyway, replacing the file that already exists in the target site folder.
You’re not hurting anything if you see this alert. It is better to work with each document having its own local site folder for publishing, at which point you definitely will not see the alert.

So done.
Today on the dupe, I can not reproduce the failure, it works as intended. Maybe it was an accidental failure, even though it persisted through a re-start of the Mac.
So I went back to the original to try that again, too. Now when I publish I get the message “One or more html files which do not belong to this site will be overwritten. …”
I thought maybe I had to explicitly re-choose the original site folder in File / Document Setup and did that, but no difference.
Why is this now?
Kind regards - Hening.
