hi

until recently i have developed my sites on my pc with xp home and used my wifes pc with xp pro & iis as a testing server(via a lan), this has worked perfectly, my wifes pc decided to give up the ghost and i've bought a new one, this only has xp home and she doesn't want me to install pro.
now i could use my host to test but given the unreliability of macromedias ftp i would have to keep switching out of UD4 to ws_ftp in order to send my test pages up, the back to UD4 to do an f12.. pain in the *ss..

any ideas anyone?

scary stuff that registry editing <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle> might give it a go when i've plucked up courage
