Thanks Dave, No they dont allow direct access to the databases ... over the network.
Is this normal? I know we all want to have our databases safe from hacking as far as it's possible, but this sems like it's unworkable. How do other people upload data and copy data down from sites under this kind of situation? Or does everyone just do everything on line?
