| 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. |

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" |

| 1481738 | 2021-11-07 20:04:00 | I have solved the problem. I changed Hosts, and moved the Domain. The old Host didn't remove the website, and didn't remove the Domain details. I ended up with two websites until the sub ran out. | mzee (3324) | ||
