Re: [cobalt-users] [Fwd: Re: RAQ 3 Templates]

["Fabian" <cobalt@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, Is very interesting the changes on the templates...
I´m speak spanish and all my customer too...
For the moment I´m only chenge the default index.html what appears in
www.domain.com and www.domain.com/users/username.

I found it at :
/etc/skel/group/en_US/web/index.html
/etc/skel/users/en_US/web/index.html

The point is that I´ve already change all the page, but when I want to
upload thru FTP using my admin password to the same place where I´m download
it..
The ftp give error 550 denied permission:-(

How I do it to upload my 2 index.html on the server?

NOte : Can I change all the templates of my customers site managements
without problems too?

Thanks in advance...
Regards
Fabian
