Re: [cobalt-users] FTP directories Re Cobalt Please take Note

The way cobalt requires us to have our clients go to /web/ is utterly
ridiculous. Out of my 300 clients, about 80% of them (even though I have a
vast online help and its even in their confirmation email) still upload into
/users/login/web

I high doubt our ranting will do any good in Cobalt changing future raqs or
releases...

Well I agree with you Fathi on this one. I have had the RAQ for a couple of
months and come from a design background using win95/98. We were used to a
straight forward(in a basic way) operating system where we could easily
navigate and create on. We decided to go for the Raq as we were expecting
having read the cobalt brochure that the raq system was a major initiative
towards making server hosting user friendly for the non technical. The FTP
directory 'log on' is a classic example of a major oversight on the
corporations' behalf although must be something relatively easy to
correct(if your listening cobalt), maybe in a patch or an update for
existing RAQ owners.

All of my clients, a 100%, have written or contacted me to say that they
cannot upload their web sites because they don't know what ftp directory to
use and once told they groan! Could Cobalt of expected them to know where
they should navigate, having no or little experience of FTP protocol, once
logged in as a user to the PROPER/LIVE web directory?

Not so user friendly after all, me thinks.
