I have been having problems with PATH:. Our site didn't receive the docs... and I'm unable to actually create files in it. If I copy a file to path:file, or just to path:, or use some other method (redirection, saveas from DME, etc) I always get "error", "can't find ... " or some other message that indicates it couldn't open the file. What exactly do I need to do?
