Unlocking locally locked files

Locally locked files are files locked in Mac OS or given a Read Only attribute in Windows. You can unlock these files in Adobe GoLive as well as going to your system desktop to do so. If you import a site with locked files, you'll need to unlock them before you can edit them.

Local locking applies only to the platform where it is applied. For example, if you create a site in Mac OS and lock its HTML files, the files will not be locked when you upload the site to a UNIX or Windows server.

To unlock a locked or read-only file:

1 Select the file in the primary site window.

Note: You can unlock a file with this method only if it shows a padlock () in the Locked column of the Files tab. The padlock indicates that it been locked in Mac OS or made read-only in Windows.

2 Click the button () on the toolbar. (The button is labeled Show Properties in Windows and Show Information in Finder in Mac OS.)

3 Do one of the following:

4 Click the Update button () on the toolbar.
