Just been thinking too hard about it, I suspect. > anyone out there who wants to help me? How about creating a new ftp user whose home directory is the document root for your site? Or better yet, get hold of a copy of WinSCP2, or the PuTTY SCP utility (can't recall its name, but it's on the PuTTY site)? Then you can sack ftp altogether. WinSCP is pretty cool - it's a standalone program and gives you a Norton Commander-like or Explorer-like GUI. I got my Marketing and Sales director using it, no problems! ;-) Dan --=20 Daniel Bye PGP Key: ftp://ftp.slightlystrange.org/pgpkey/dan.asc PGP Key fingerprint: 3D73 AF47 D448 C5CA 88B4 0DCF 849C 1C33 3C48 2CDC _ ASCII ribbon campaign ( ) - against HTML, vCards and X - proprietary attachments in e-mail / \ --h31gzZEtNLTqOjlF Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE+8tUPhvzwOpChvo8RArRhAJ4/G1k4e8qO8vSy0rXC3C4jVdzN5QCg2Fv6 1g7iObvRpQvLD0o6UmvNQiA= =lY0n -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --h31gzZEtNLTqOjlF--
