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. > How do I enable >them to update FTP if Version Control is on. Or is it a one or the other >thing. 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: http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs_10.html#SEC83 >Keff ____________________________________________________ </MELVYN> void wakeup() { for(long int cuppajava;drink();cuppajava++); } ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- For unsubscription of this list send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with email data containing unsubscribe emailadd sambar -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For unsubscription of this list send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with email data containing unsubscribe emailadd sambar
