The Yaskawa/Motoman controller may not allow you to change JBI program names using FileZilla because the header may need to be changed as well. You may have to rename the files directly from the controller. Another option is to delete the JBI files and upload them again.
If the FTP server on the robot controller allows it, RoboDK will replace your existing program by the new one. This may not work if the program is selected or running.
Also, some robot controllers have limited storage capacity and you may not be able to run your programs in one shot, even if you split them in subprograms. We can help you with workarounds such as uploading/deleting programs as you run them. This usually requires an external application taking care of cleaning the memory of the controller (the Fanuc dripfeeder post processor shows this concept).
Can you provide us with more information about your controller limitations and your RoboDK project?
