Re: [IUG] live to staging

[Margaret Peloquin <peloquin at austincc dot edu>]

Just an added comment for clarification....  If you are using FTP from 
home, unless you are using VPN to get into your institution's network, 
you will probably not be able to get to the III server.  I often do work 
from home and using VPN and remote desktop, I am easily able to do all I 
need to do (including loading wwwoptions).  --Margaret
