If I'm correct - only when it's locked. Which makes perfect sence.
The idea behind version control (Or better: CVS = Concurrent Versions
System),
is that you can always "go back" to a previous version.
There are different implementations and how the locking is handled, but
Sambar uses,
exclusive locking. You have to "free" the file, in order for others to be
able to use it.

Even IF it isn't a "one or the other" thing, it makes perfect sense to do
so, on at least
a file level (better a root-dir level even), since FTP can totally screw up
all the versioning
you've done.

This section of the CVS bible, describes very well, the problems (and
suggests solutions)
for dealing with a multi-developer environment:
