G'day Dave, thanks for your suggestion. Yes that's what I"m doing for uploads - backing up to my own PC< then FTP the backup to the site, then lodge a support ticket for the support guy to restore it to the site.
But it's a hassle, and I would rather have a way to do it myself without needing support guys to do it for me. In the other direction, where I need to make a local copy of a database on line, I can't do a backup myself - the database doesnt give permissions high enough for that. So again i have to ask teh support guy to take an additional backup (he is supposed to be doing it every night - I'm assuming he is) and put it on the site somewhere for me to pick up by FTP later. But again, that's a real hassle and it would be far better if i can find a practical way to get copies of databases myself whenever i like.
