That's what prevents webstar ftp from being able to 'see' the file, because webstar ftp is not a full-featured ftp server -- it cannot 'see' or download WWW‡ files like a normal ftp server can.But there's a webcat-based work-around:1- Create a separate upload folder for all your newly-uploaded db files.2- Create a special admin template that closes the old database file, then immediately moves the newly-uploaded file to the location of the old file, thus forcing the old file to be overwritten by the new one.This technique is guaranteed to force webcat to purge the dbName.db file from its RAM cache, so when the new database file overwrites the old one, it's the NEW file that gets loaded into webcat's RAM cache.This is necessary because if you do *not* purge webcat's RAM-cached database immediately before overwriting that file on disk, then webcat will end up overwriting the new file with the *old* RAM-cached data the next time it commits its RAM-cached data to disk -- and that's not what you want at all ...================================Kenneth Grome, WebDNA Consultant808-737-6499 http://webdna.net================================-------------------------------------------------------------This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
