1481735 2021-10-31 07:08:00 I have a website which has a mail client, works perfectly. Strange thing is that there is no sign of it when I FTP. This is a bit of a nuisance as you can't edit the files.
What could cause files to vanish & yet work? I have 2 other sites, both have the same mail client, but all the files are visible in a folder, they work too.

What mail client?
(What website?)
You'll need to give much more detail if you want any sort of sensible answer.

Check the permissions on the files or directory "ls -l" or if you want more info, "man ls" or "ls help" also any file that has a leading dot is hidden ie .etc/usr/var this is not an actual directory. Another command you may wish to check up on is "chmod"
