can't edit...
Authored by: davidnorton on Oct 25, '02 03:30:17PM

I can't edit any files, or put new ones on. It says the disk is locked. :-/ I am entering the right username and password...

It says "ftp.(domain).com can't be modified". In BBEdit, it says the file is owned by root... anybody else having this problem? It might be my server...

At this point, FTP access in the Finder is read-only. Good for downloading, bad for uploading ;-).

heh, okay, thanks. Hopefully after Apple fixes the bugs (I can still get Finder FTP to freeze up the iMac for me if I fiddle around with it long enough. I have 10.2.1), they will implement editing. The whole point of FTP for me is editing files, especially with BBEdit. I guess it's different for other people, though.

I'm having exactly the same problem. Anyone have step-by-step suggestions on how to delete and add files via finder-drag-and-drop using ftp? This would be *so* great; I had just downloaded a trial copy of Fetch for this purpose.
An observation: I've already made an alias of the ftp server which appeared on my desktop before ejecting the original. Now my web site server is just a double-click away, though it still asks for me to enter my password before it opens.
