Hi Guys,

Maybe you can shed some light on this for me.

I am trying to set up a program that will automatically back up directories in a specific site.

I am having a problem accessing the main /web directory as it takes me to /users/name/web

I have tried adding a / to the end of the domain as that usually works in regular FTP programs to get me to the root directory of the site, but in this program it does not work.

I also tried accessing or getting to the main /directory in IE6 Beta and no luck either.

Can someone please explain how to navigate to the main root of a site directory in a web browser?

I have a RAQ4.

Thanks in advance.

Get a Different FTP Client
If you plan on doing a lot of uploading/dowloading, backing up, etc., you may want to check into a full-feature ftp client like FTP Voyager, WS FTP, Cute FTP, or some others. These programs have much more robust navigation options and some of them have specific backup utilities and feature resume capabilities in case the connection breaks.

FTP Browser in IE or Netscape
You can use ".." -- thats two periods to move you up one directory. So if be default your are in:
/home/mydirectory/files
and you add /../
/home/mydirectory/files/../
you would be effectively in
/home/mydirectory/

Links on The Server
Probably the easiest solution is to make a link in the default FTP directory to where you want to go. You will have to do this by logging into your server and using the link command. By putting in a symbolic link on the server side, you can redirect the FTP requests to the appropriate directory.

I've tried a few times to use the FTP function of MSIE to log on to a RaQ and I have yet to get it to work. I've been able to do it with other types of servers, but never a RaQ.
