<div> So does it matter what I set filepro's password to? I never knew it got installed with a password, much less a password</div>
<div> that expires?? Strange......</div>
<div> That leads me to the other part of my problems/issues/questions.</div>
<div> I'm assuming them I can use the filepro user to ftp to our client's site and 'get' files, thus these files would have</div>
<div> filepro ownership already, right?</div>
<div> I guess I can also do some 'system' calls to chmod etc right from processing.</div>
<div> I will work on some ideas on this tomorrow</div>
<div> </div>
<div> But I would like to know if:</div>
<div> a) this is standard behaviour for filepro (an expiring password)</div>
<div> b) does it matter what I set filepro's password to?</div>
<div> c) will it break anything when I change it?</div>
<div> </div>
<div> Thanks</div>
