Straight face palm..
I was writing a program, put 15 hours of work into it and I had the program write over itself somehow (thought I was writing to somewhere else)

Anyway, I have nothing and is there anyway to revert saves on linux server or am I screwed and have to start all over?

This has been a TERRIBLE day and it's just gotten worse from that. Lol..

just revert / checkout from your svn repository.

if you used an IDE like eclipse, it might have a workspace history.

I am using winSCP and the editor from there.. :/ I think i might be screwed, I don't know if there's any way to revert.

I'm pretty much back to where I started anyway, missing a few things but for the most part I remembered what I had and am getting chunks from other files I had saved randomly when testing stuff out.

Thank you though :)!

doesnt winscp create local temp files for the edit? i would try editing a file, seeing what directory it's being saved to, then see what else is in there

Take this as a lesson that you should be using version control. Install and learn Git.
