Re: controlling access to files over network

Philip, I think I've finally solved my firewall problems to get Filezilla
client/server working on my wireless LAN ...

Sorry to keep bugging you but here's another question.

When you want to want to use your client computer to work with a file on the
server computer, do you download the file to your client, or do you
edit/view the server file in place?

I see the View/Edit option on the right click menu in FileZilla but it seems
that to do this you have to type in a "Custom File Association" into the
FileZilla dialog box. This seems strange, I wonder why FZ doesn't just use
the default file associations on the client computer? Have you found an
easier way?

Thanks again for any help. This has been interesting.
