Re: Ownership of FTPd file(s)

[Booth Martin <booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I use NetObjects Fusion to maintain and publish my web site 
(www.martinvt.com)

So, I thought it'd be fun to make another simple web site and publish it 
to an i.  It works and I was happy that it worked quickly and easily. 
However in the process I discovered I had to publish on my C drive and 
then use Filezilla to FTP that folder's contents to /www/ABC/htdocs. 
That made my signin profile the owner of the objects. I fixed the 
resulting 403 Forbidden error by using wrklnk, option 9, edit authority, 
to change to *RX for QTMHHTTP.

So, everything actually works, but its not at all graceful.

Your idea of ownership being QTMHHTTP instead of my login makes sense 
but I can't figure out how to do that.  /www/ABC/htdocs is created when 
the server ABC is created using the :2001 HTTP Admin wizard.
