[Sara's Soaps]

sara, if you don't know how to use an FTP program then you are not yet "really dangerous".

For doing things such as uploading modules or customized files you should get familiar with an FTP program. Along with your HTML Editor, it is a very commonly used program for Web customizing.

So I guess I'm just a little dangerous, huh? ;)

I can't talk to the accuracy of the configuration of your webdisk, but in theory, yes you should be able to upload the files that way. Though my personal preference, like that of Website Rob, is a dedicated FTP programs (e.g. the free and excellent FileZilla). They're really not that difficult to configure and use.

I'm going to try the webdisk thing first. What better way to test a theory, right? I've looked up FileZilla, and honestly, I'm soooo nervous about using it. OK, I know it LOOKS easy (and really, it does), but I'm so scared I'm going to screw something up. Note to self: Back up site first.

Concur with the gurus, but...I think you should start by purchasing the Zen Cart Manual and setting up a test site.
You can then back it up and destroy it at your heart's content testing modifications.
In a test site, you wouldn't even need to FTP, you would just drag-n-drop the contribution, that will help you understand how it works.

Thanks. I think it's gonna be a necessity now. I wouldn't even be having to worry about this right now except for this blasted button I need to add. And there's a little bit of a time crunch on it. It needs to be on my site ideally by 1 November. Otherwise, I likely would just leave my site's format stand (except for adding new products) and play with it this winter when things slow down some.
