My host has disabled FSO for all their clients - told me I'd need to
find another way to do things.

Is that normal practice??

Thanks,

Have a 'standard directory structure' to use with new clients, is a
great idea.  Here's mine, which I keep in a folder Clients\$template\:

\$template
            \_site
                       \css
                       \images
                       \js
                       \inc
                       \db
                       \ssl
            \design
                       \images
                       \mockups
            \docs
                       \account
                       \project
                       \proposal
            \supplied_material

Now, whenever I get a new client (or even just a lead) I copy this
directory structure template into its own folder, and I'm set for
whatever this client throws at me.  Saves time and ensures consistency.
