This might be of use to anyone using the libURL commands. I've discovered
that deleting an ftp file as in delete url myUrl does not work if messages
are locked at the time this command is sent. The other url commands, as far
as I can tell, are not effected by locked messages.

I'm trying to use MC to save a stack to a password protected directory on a

using the past-offered convention for assembling the destination filepath:

the user doesn't have write permissions like the admin.
Thanks for the suggestion, but the user *does* have write access, which can
be accomplished via an FTP tool. So far I cannot get *MC* to write to the
directory.
Still looking for suggestions...
