hmmm, is Quanta trying to edit the file directly on the server, or DL'ing a temp one like the HTML-Kit? You may not have permission to edit the file directly on the server. Its odd that it doesnt seem to be forwarding your password, but that may just be Quanta hiding it for security. Just got Peters mail, which seems to confirm my suspicion. Id FTP a copy to my local machine, edit, and FTP back. Its not bad practice to have a local backup of your entire site anyway if your site resides on a commercial server...I do all my edits locally first, then UL. Enables me to do large updates over days then update the server in one shot. Just some food for thought. --Nick > Ian > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) > > iD8DBQE/a1/0SiY+RXI7JS4RApk1AJ9jp10Tv5sVXMwrYTgQxezKD9x8VQCfWYOZ > euQfFwtDmnRNIzX2bnNwKac= > =zmiJ > -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Nick W ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Registered Linux User #324288 (http://counter.li.org) MSN Messenger: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo: foolish_gambit ICQ: 303276221
