Hello,

I saw that somebody visited his site in the internet, edited the page with netscape editor )
and published the html to his site. So he didnīt use
any ftp programm, just his username and password.
When I try, i am told that put is not allowed for that domain.
How can I enable that? Is it a security hole?

I think it's an Apache module called mod_put that allows this kind of publishing. I think I also remember reading that there are some security issues to be aware of when using it.

I haven't used netscape in forever, but MSIE has an FTP client built in. Are you sure that he was using HTTP PUT, and not FTP?

With MSIE, you can just go to:

username:password@ftp.mydomain.com

And cut and paste using FTP.
