Mike,

Thanks for the reply.

I have the server sitting here alongside my production machine, and 
usually edit the pages in a text editor right on the server. I have 
changed the Owner of the website directory I'm dealing with to my 
user account, and left the Group as www. Now I can do as I please 
with the files and folders. Is this okay, as long as the Group is 
www? I'm still a little fuzzy on the permissions stuff.
