I can do my writing on the server and save to the server.

I can do my writing on the local computer and save to the local disk.

If I edit and save to the server, how do I download from the server to my local disk (using Contribute).

If I edit and save to local disk, how do I upload from the local disk to the web server (using Contribute).

In other words, how do I - using Contribute - perform FTP-like functions to move files between the local disk and the server?

Yes, all of the FTP info is entered in Contribute... and it's been triple-checked.

I can come up with a dozen ways to accomplish this OUTSIDE OF CONTRIBUTE. The problem is that most of my several dozen, um, contributors, have no clue. Most of them, however, want to keep a local copy.

Let's face it: if my writers were even moderately computer literate, they wouldn't be using something as brain-dead as Contribute. Even the miserable failure called Front Page makes it obvious how to move files back and forth.

If it matters - and it shouldn't - the Apache web server runs under UNIX.
