Read-only access?

I've put a Windows Filemaker 7 database on our Linux server, so the database can be accessed remotely via VPN. The database will open, but only as a read-only file, no matter what the account or password.

Is there some way I can get the file to be writeable on the server, or do I have to move it to a Windows client? -- in which case I can't access the file remotely via VPN. Any suggestions?

I wonder if changing the permissions on the database would improve your situation? In the Mac world, when serving the file, I have to close the file, go to the Finder, get Info on the file I'm trying to serve, make sure under permissions that fmserver is able to read and write the file, then open again in the server. I bet this is your problem but I am not a Linux user.
