MeshChat Double File Entries on Raspberry Pi Installation

Hi folks,

I'm having an issue with a MeshChat installation on a Raspberry Pi4.  MeshChat chat is working just fine, this issue is with the files storage on the Pi. 

First, our configuration:  

3 instances of MeshChat as follows (all same name - AKMeshChat):

2 instances on a Ubiquiti M3 Rocket
1 instance on the RPi4

The issue is that when we upload a file to the Pi, when viewing the files available from the MeshChat instance on the Pi, it results in listing that filename twice.  The first instance includes the "Delete" button, the second instance does not.  If you click the "Delete" button, both listed instances of the file are deleted.

HOWEVER, when viewing the available files from the instances of MeshChat on either of the M3 Rockets, the files are listed correctly, with each file listed just once.

I've also now noticed that while I can upload files to MeshChat and they list, they can't be downloaded.  When trying to download, we get a "raspberrypi refused to connect.".  (raspberrypi is the current name of the unit...I will be changing it)

I have reviewed the forum and haven't seen anyone else speak of this issue.  I've attached a couple of screenshots in a PDF file to help with the explanation.

I am not a Linux expert by any way shape or form so hand-holding would be very, very helpful.

Thanks in advance,

Issue Resolved
I found some local Linux folks who helped to resolve this issue.  The primary case was the name that was used for the Pi, it was simply "raspberrypi", and while it was just supposed to be temporary, it caused a host of issues.  So updating that name was the main part of the fix.
