1. You remove the read-only atttribute by right-clicking on
the file and unselecting "Read only." You do not select
another attribute.

2. You can go to the web site through FP and work on the
pages "live." Then you hit File / Save and it is saved
immediately live. I always work this way. (I don't work on
the hard drive then publish to the server.)

To publish the live site to your hard drive:
1. File / Publish Site... / Remote Web Site Properties...
2. Browse to the File System on your computer. If there is
none, allow FP to create one.
3. Then it's a matter of selecting the correct from/to
orientation and Publish.
