What we need is to create an FTP account that's independent of a subdomain, since the current webadmin doesn't make subdomains subdirectories. And what we really just need is an FTP account pointing to the archives directory.
However, I'm not familiar enough with the FTP server to do that offhand.
Tom?
Why not temporarily forget the subdomain, and just use the archives subdirectory? I recognize the need for security, but DX ain't going to blow anything up.
Or, as I said in Bureau, DX could just email me new archives and I can upload them. It's a trivial amount of extra effort.

Or if there's a bunch of them that would overwhelm email, post them on your server, and I can grab and upload.
I think it makes more sense just to trust me with the password.
It's not a matter of not trust, I just figured it was something simple to set up if you knew what you were doing, and that it could be hooked up quickly.
But it got lost under a flood of other site-starting stuff.
I gotta bolt -- Jon, give him the magic words, will you?
We should still get that FTP user set up -- so that if DX hands the role over, it'll be simple and compartmentalised.
I'm away from my computer. I'll take a look at it tomorrow.
