I'm aware of the path requirement, thanks. Accessing the server could be 
more of an issue. Where I am the main way to get file updates onto it is 
with a USB stick and text commands to copy/move files then make them 
executable. It would also mean multiple alterations to the web pages to 
make the site access it properly. In my position I'm the one person who 
cannot do it online.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
