RE: [flasher] RE: Where am I doing wrong with these path names??

[JGL]

No problem! I found that as i work for many different clients using many

differently configured servers, it's a really good 'frustrating saving'

habit to get into.


Just for further clarification:


As standard file calling goes that should always work cross platform-

/ is the root directory

./ means the current directory.

../ means up one directory.
