It is a FP config file for a file you must have (or had) in your web and not a std FP generated file unless it is part of a hidden
thicket file (which it is in your case)
The _vti_cnf folders contain files by the same names as are in your corresponding web folders which FP uses to store info about the
files in your web to manage them.
There is a \_vti_cnf for every folder in you web
But FP will not display any files w/ a leading dot (as in a file or folder named: .fp_folder_info), so you are not seeing that file
in FP (even though FP is generating a config file for it) even though it is there
In your case it is a thicketdir (folder) named (.fp_folder_info) as a thicket related folder for the file named ".fp_folder"
FP also hides thicket folders. Thickets are created when Windows Explorer is set to manage File as Pairs
In order to delete the thicket folder you need to delete the file creating the thicket folder
You need to use Windows locally (or a 3rd party FTP on a server) to see the .dotfilenames and related thicket folder named
..dotfoldernames in your web and delete it
| A bit more information.....fp_folder_info isn't a folder but rather a file.
| I've been working on my index page so the file appears in following location:
|
| index_files
| _vti_cnf
| .fp_folder_info
|
| When I send the file to notepad the following appears:
|
| vti_encoding:SR|utf8-nl
| vti_thicketdir:SW|Nativity/New Nativity
| Website/NewNativityWebsitev02a/index.htm
|
| If no one else is experiencing the problem there must be a way to turn it
| off or find a work around.
