An easier solution is to access futon over localhost only and use ssh port forwarding to get to it remotely. But yes, you can move the couch file somewhere else temporarily without damage. I would stop couch, move & restart couch in between as there will still be a file handle open even if you rename it, if that's possible atm. A+ Dave
