FTP and format files

[zoeriley]

I have successfully completed a database/website for a client via CDML. The database is currently located on my computer, but it will be moving to a dedicated computer at my client's workplace.

My questions is--knowing that the format files are located in Filemaker's Web folder--is there any way to get access to these via FTP from a remote site, such as my office? It worries me that these pages will not be "updateable" if needed. (I am a freelance web designer, and I'm used to being able to connect to any given website for updates as needed.)

If anybody has any insight into this, it would be appreciated. Thanks.

What type of computer is going to be on? If it is OS X you can switch FTP on and create a user_id for yourself.

All the best.

Similar will be on Windows.

Thanks for responding.

It is currently on a Mac 9.2. When it goes to my client's, it will either be on a Mac machine or Windows machine. That's undecided right now.

But if it's similar in either case, where would I go to find out about how to do this?

If it goes on either an OS X Mac or a Win Server (and FTP is setup so it is accessible from the Internet), you can use Fetch on your computer to access either server.

You can visit Fetch Softworks for FTP information at:
