RE: [cobalt-users] Raq4i - Front Page and .htaccess problems

["Russell" <rga@xxxxxx>]

 Thanks, you've been a great help.
 I will try to reset uid on .htaccess

 I've been able to simultaneously work on
 *.html, *.gif, *.jpg, etc files in FP enabled
 site .. with FTP and FP.

 The catch is:
 FP will access, update, etc a file under uid "admin"
 but denies FTP overwrite permissions if it was the
 last to write the file.

 So, If FP was the last one messing with the file,
 then I must delete it, before I can FTP overwrite,
 but then FP seems to access it fine.
