    Files in SiteBuilder can be accessed by FTP if the server has an FTP port configured that is connected to the SiteBuilder. How to configure the FTP port is described in the installation section of the SiteBuilder Administrator's Manual.

    When using FTP, SiteBuilder's file structure appears as a top-level directory containing one sub directory for each Workarea. Inside each Work area directory, the rest of the path is identical to the part that is displayed in the ordinary SiteBuilder interface. In other words, the FTP path is:

    ftp://hostname:port/workarea/documentpath

    or, without port specification,

    ftp://hostname/workarea/documentpath

    The FTP interface does not support access to meta data. When creating new files through FTP, SiteBuilder will make an educated guess as to what kind of file it is, based on its extension, such as .html for HTML files, etc. HTML files will have their title extracted, but not removed, and inserted into the meta data, if SiteBuilder can find a header section containing a title block in the new file.

    No version control functions are available through FTP so to commit the file you have to use the Content Editor.
