Ok Ok.... Neil why do you say this is a BAD PRACTICE?
Everyone else remember this is NEIL'S Opinion... Bad Practices are not written in stone. Although some of them could be. I have used FTP/RDS with other users.... No not to the LIVE BOX... Local Machine - Type here Development Server - Develop here Test Server - Test here Live Server - Roll Live here I have my opinion about a lot of things that some ColdFusion Guru's say is Bible and I happen to disagree. Just because someone writes a book does not mean they are 100% correct. So let's keep it to a low roar. Lastly Team Macromedia Members are NOT EMPLOYEES of Macromedia. His views may not be the views of ALL Team Macromedia Members. His views may not be the views of Macromedia. However before you whack him on the head for a statement he believes to be true. Ask him what he meant by it. Email sometimes comes across more harshly then it should. As I heard someone mention he may have meant LIVE boxes. Guess what even if he meant what you thought he meant we are all HUMAN and have our opinions. Sometimes there is a GRAY area where the person is neither right or wrong. The thing I sometimes think is wrong is the way we crucify our partner developers. We all have opinions and sometimes we change them. Whether he is right or wrong I want to say Macromedia is listening if we are professional about our response to problems then it will do us more benefit then some of the responses I have saw here. Be angry if you must but respond after you have counted to ten.
