Dear All, "Current site settings... | Connection | Show hidden files" It was embarrassingly obvious once I'd figured it out! Oh yeah... TurboFTP is very cool! It's folder synchronization feature is the best I've found by far for web site maintenance. And it's quite well priced ($29.95). Cheers, Richard.

Whoops! I just found it. Thanks, Richard.

I'm using TurboFTP and I can't find any setting to override this default behaviour!

Is there any way to configure my account and/or my FTP client so that I can download hidden files (i.e. those prefixed with a '.') to my local machine? Thanks, Richard.

Thanks!

Thanks. That's exactly what I've been doing. I was wondering if there was some way to automate it or get direct access to the raw data... if only I could view those pesky .db files! Richard.

Mainly, I would like to be able to perform queries on the member list. The mailing list I'm creating involves a great deal of synchronization between the on-line list and e-mail addresses collected by hand at gigs etc. (this is a mailing list for a rock band, by the way). The manager of the band would like to be able to query the list of members and I would, at the very least, like to be able to export all the members to a text file to allow it to be imported en masse into a spreadsheet or word processor. Thanks, Richard.

A quick question regarding the Mailman mailing list management software: Where is all the data stored? If all else fails, I guess I can download the source code for it and figure it out the hard way, but can anybody answer this question straightaway? Thanks, Richard.

I'm looking into that too. Thanks for the advice. In general, however, which of these two approaches is most efficient (even if I choose not to employ either method in future)? Oh yeah: Is anybody experiencing problems accessing the mailing list features from cPanel at the moment? I cannot get access to them. Thanks, Richard.

Dear All, I'm in the process of implementing the backend for my web site's mailing list and I have a question regarding minimizing server load (which is clearly always a Good Thing). If I have an array of e-mail addresses (e.g. >$addresses in my PHP script), which is more efficient in terms of server load: Send the message once per address with each address as the "To:" part in turn, e.g.: >foreach ($addresses as $address) { mail($address, 'Subject', 'Message'); } Build up a BCC header and send the e-mail once with a blank or dummy "To:" field, e.g.: >$bcc='Bcc: '.implode(',', $addresses); mail('dummy', 'Subject', 'Message', $bcc); I'm leaning towards the second approach but I'm not certain and would like some feedback from an expert. Thanks for your help, Richard.

Thanks!

Can anybody give me a brief description of how I can perform server-side includes in my HTML documents?

If I try to view Webalizer FTP stats I get the following error message at the top of Cpanel... "Cannot find an acceptable log file for your domain." Any ideas where this is from? Thanks, Richard.

Whoops. Sorry about that. It's fixed. Thanks, Richard.

Lianna, Thanks very much indeed. I didn't see the Backup feature before either. That's a pretty cool feature. Thanks for your help! Best regards, Richard.

Hello, I've just started hosting my web site with *****. I need as much information as I can find on all the directories that are present in my web space. First of all, inside public_html, I have the _vti* directories? I think these are for FrontPage support. If have no intention of using FrontPage can I safely delete these? Can I delete _vti_inf.html too? If I ever change my mind in the future and wish to start using FrontPage again (unlikely), can these directories and files be recreated? I also have the following folders: cart, entropybanner, images plus the file postinfo.html. I guess that these must have been auto-generated when I was playing around with some of the features on Cpanel. Can I delete these if I don't want to use these features right now and just have Cpanel regenerate them in the future? In the root of my ftp account there are tmp and catalogs folders? What are these for and can I delete them too? I will be grateful for any help or advice on this matter. Thanks, Richard.
