[cobalt-users] Re: FTP Problem

["Dan Donald" <dan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Dan - thanks for that, I'm new to talking to my server so I'm not too hot on
what to say.  Could you describe how to use'cp'?  I'm assuming it's the
method of copying.

Jonothon - The file are hidden.  I found out how to see them with a GUI FTP
client and downloaded them to my hard disk to play with (keeping back-ups of
course).  They're in usr/admserv/html/.cobalt/ - I found that on the Cobalt
knowledge base.

Thanks for you help.
