Using FTP doesn't automatically break FP extensions, as long as it is a
file that isn't normally updated and tracked using _vti folders.
I often use FTP for quick uploads to a "misc" folder on the site that
isn't linked to anything in the rest of the site.
Also, I used FTP to upload my modified .htacess file and have had no
problems whatsoever. I'm going top investigate this a little more -- it
appears that the other guy is using a mod rewrite that may be
effectively hiding some of his files, including his FP password
directory... if so, that would explain the errors he's getting.
