Can't view remote Contribute folders

Just installed Dreamweaver MX. I set up a site some time ago for a friend who
uses Contribute. Using Dreamweaver 4 I can view the remote _mm and _baks
folders (Just tried it again to confirm). But I can't see those folders with
Dreamweaver MX. I would like to be able to view them so I can delete them in
case of file corruption. Can I set Dreamweaver MX to do so?

No. You would have to use some 3rd party FTP program (or Windows Explorer)
to see them.

Murray,

Thanks for the fast response. You saved me much time fiddling with MX
settings. May I ask a follow-up question? I understand your advice about using
a 3rd party FTP program, but I am curious about accessing a site using Windows
Explorer (do you mean Internet Explorer?) What do you type in the URL address
bar?

Also, any idea why Macromedia removed the capability to view the remote
folders?

Thanks again.

Explorer or Internet Explorer - either one will work.

In the address field, type

ftp://usernameassword (AT) www (DOT) domain.com

and see what happens.

folders?

No. You'd need to ask them.... 8)
