The file you are trying to FTP is probably owned by root.  You can't read/write a
root-owned file via FTP.  Via telnet or SSH login as admin, su to root (su -), and
then edit the file or directly or save it with a new name, change the owner to admin,
FTP it to your external machine, edit it, FTP it back and then rename it to its
original name and change the owner back to root.  That's a lot of extra steps so get
comfortable editing on your server directly using pine (what I like), joe, emac, vi
or some other editor that may or may not be on your server.
