Sorry for the late reply. I just now got around to looking at this again. You were right. The remote data file part is what I was missing. I was expecting the browse button to be active, so I could browse to the folder and file on the FTP site. It wasn't though. But when I manually entered the path, that worked. It took me a few tries to get the path right. At first I thought I needed the full ftp url (ie. ftp://.../mlo/MyProjects.ml) but finally realized just the last part was needed (mlo/ MyProjects.ml). So it seems to be working now. Might be good to clarify that in the documentation, (or better yet, just allow the user to browse to the file on the FTP site).
I have two other (minor) questions: 1. Does the filename on the remote site need to be the same as the local? I don't think so, but just want to confirm that. 2. If syncing to the remote site the first time, and there is no file there, will MLO just copy the local file to the remote site? If not, that would be a nice feature to add. Thanks again for the help.
