The Webserver where you publish your files does not allow you to access the files for direct editing. You must, therefore, draft your copies on a local or floppy drive and then FTP (publish) the files to the remote Web server. If you lose your floppy disk, you may save down published copies of files from the Webserver on the local drive and then edit them. FTP of files back to the Webserver is always the final step.
