Good discussion. I found that some directories went "green" as long as I enabled the "test" file.
But not all directories have a "test" file.
Rick, are you saying that ALL FILES within the directory need to be writeable? Wow. One of the folders has a couple hundred graphics in it. Ouch.
Yes I have moved from Windows to Linux as of 11 pm last night. Now I'm chasing down a couple of gremlins. Still concerned about directories that show up "red".
I'm using CUTE FTP.
