David;
You
will irrevocably wreck the FP server side extensions if you FTP into an FP aware
directory. No one is absolutely sure why or how, but it is believed that this
phenomenon has to do with FP's indexing of its site information...you break the
index, you break the site structure...FP server extensions
break.
What I
do is to create some website folders that FP is unaware of as part of its site
structure, FTP anything up into those folders that I want to be part of the site
in some way, then use FP's "Import" function. FP now treats those folders as
simply target folders for importing stuff from, and doesn't include them in its
indexing.
I've
done a lot of searching over the past couple of years, and as an FTP user *and*
FP user, I've experimented with...and broke server extensions this way more than
once to prove or disprove the warnings.
Use
FP's "Publish" function...or else, simply uninstall or delete the FP extensions
from user directories if you simply don't need or want FP server side extension
functionality (like "bots" for example) and then use FTP to your hearts content
:-)
Hope
This Helps (HTH)
Regards,
