Can I change the designs, scripts and menus... or something else by downloading the files from ftp ..changing its on my computer and then uploading back? Does it works well... ?
There is someone who tryed this?
The backOffice it's to strange for me...
I've been reading those faq's these days even the post on topics... and haven't realise how does it works.
Have a nice day !

Yes, it is much easier to do it this way - I find.

Especially if you have an ftp program where you can then put the pages into Layout mode to alter them.

As always make sure you have backups and you should be fine.
Also, using Webmaster mode tells you which templates to alter.

Thanks U very much ...
I have few more questions ...I hope you don't mind...
What programs should I do for modify the php and the others files? Dreamwaver? Or what? I have a program for the ftp ... your advice with the webmaster it's good. Thanks again.

php doesn't really matter as there are no tables to layout - so yes Dreamweaver would do for that as well. I think a lot of developers here use Dreamweaver. (Personally I'm using Golive)

You need to make sure to get the Dreamweaver plug-in to read Smarty, or you will seriously wreck your templates
