RE: [IUG] MilAdmin - Webmaster

George:

Out of your complaint, I would be very happy if we can get one thing
accomplished: to give us the permission [for the turnkey site] to create
subfolders.  I can see that Innovative is trying to move in the folder
direction, for instance, for R2006, you have a scripts folder even
though you can not peek the inside. I would not think it is too much to
ask for image folder, scripts folders, locallycreatedfiles folder,
etc...

Subject: [IUG] MilAdmin - Webmaster

How goofy is this in the "latest" R2006??

First, do I see this correctly: In WebAdmin, the Webmaster mode only
lets you GET/PUT files but **not** directories? Am I missing something
here? A single directory for all my files and no organizing my local web
content in standard ways (e.g. with subdirectories, etc.)? Where's my
/images/ folder -- can't see it. Why is this module still 10 years out
of date? 

Oh yes, I know -- I could use liveftp -- but my 1+ month old support
call is only now just getting resolved -- they have to reinstall
something so that FTP on port 1021 should work again for my "liveftp"
account access... 

I'd say scrap Webmaster and stop wasting effort on building out-of-date
graphical FTP tool for MilAdmin.

Second, what is with this 'feature' on this menu option??

	Webmaster >> Tools >> Get >> Download

The screen says "All retrieved files will be appended with .xml"  

What are they trying to do here? Why not just GET or PUT whatever my
selected filename(s) is?  WHY append .xml ?  

When I first came on board here and began using Innopac a few years
back, I went through unbelievable hoops just to get the files offline
for markup and into a standard commercial editing tool. Then, with
getting the files back up on the server, I couldn't see the logic in why
Innopac would append "*.html" to files already so named, and *.gif to
all image files (I guess they didn't hear about .jpg image files in
2002).  For uploading, I recall something along the lines of having to
strip *.gif from filenames since uploading the files would result in
*.gif being appended. (e.g. "image.gif" would end up being
"image.gif.gif" breaking page links).
