unless you know the precise location and name of the database file. e.g. you
could browse to the fpdb looking for the mdb files, and possibly right-click and
save as, but then again, I think by default you'll get a 403 Forbidden error (so
you can't browse the directory) and same with the _private folder - the
permissions are such that scripts and so forth can read and write to files in
that folder, but you can't just browse to that directory - that is where FP
extensions are in operation. I don't know what the equivalent Unix chmod would be
maybe something like 666 or 755 or 777 (but since it would be Windows, the
permissions are set differently.)
message You can't easily import a database I don't think.
