hmmmm, no extensions that would make sense wouldn't it - he'd end up with
that extra folder and lots of broken links.
| Can you provide a example of the path that you published the site too
on the remote server, and if
| the remote server has the FP extensions? This may make it easier for
Rob or someone else to help you
| with this issue.
|
| If the remote server doesn't have the FP extensions and you are using
FP's FTP mode then based on
| how the host has the web folder location mapped could be the issue.
