texte = Thats the route I'm gonna be using, dbs and inc files in site folders within the globals directory. Still can't seem to ftp into the darn scripts directory though.... and I'd like to be able to do that for backups. Can't see it or get to it anywhere via ftp no matter what I do. The Plesk control panel seems to take over things from a security standpoint. I can get to the server via remote desktop but thats not gonna give me any kinda auto ftp backup routine easily or safely... arghh I use Plesk vers 6.5, and all is a-ok so I get nervous about any kinda upgrades to the newer Plesk, especially since some folks have had major issues when upgrading.... I took an unused ip address out of the Plesk setups, hoping I can ftp into scripts straight through that way. --- "Christian F.
