You SHOULD have access to you file system on your remote hosting which will allow the initial upload, and later changes to be made. Clients then using the CMS interface never see the files directly so there is not a problem. My own remote servers have rsync installed and I mirror their data and files back to here on a cron job which runs every 24 hours. WWhen I spot a bug I can play with the local version, fix it, and then rsync the corrected files back to the remote copy. There are good tools for managing servers so you don't need to build your own. p.s. check out https://github.com/bitweaver for some examples of how to build a modular CMS ;) -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
