Hmm. Can they really save a modified file to the web server, even if
they do have write permission? I do, so I tested this in my browser, and
the "Save" command was dimmed. When I selected "Save As," the default
location that came up was on my local drive. I couldn't find a way to
save it to the web server (short of saving it to my local drive and then
going into my FTP client).
Anyhow, our users have read-only access to the web server.
