Unlocking locally locked files

You can use GoLive to unlock files that were locked in the Mac OS Finder or given a Read Only attribute in the Windows Properties dialog box. If you import a site with locally locked files, you'll need to unlock them before you can edit them. If the files are hidden in Windows Explorer, you need to show them before you can edit them.

Local file 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.

Local file locking does not apply to files on a WebDAV server or the Adobe Web Workgroup Server.

To unlock a locked or read-only file:

1. Select the file in the 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 has been locked in Mac OS or made read-only in Windows.

2. Click the Show Information in Explorer (Windows) or Show Information in Finder (Mac OS) button  on the toolbar. Or, choose Show Properties from the context menu.
3. Do one of the following:
• In Windows, deselect Read-only and click OK.
• In Mac OS, deselect Lock and close the Get Info window.
4. Click the Refresh View button  on the toolbar.
