I was checking out the files on my server and I noticed the .php file. What is its purpose?

Thanks in advance for any help,

Here you can read about php: http://w3schools.com/php/default.asp

That .php script is an internal database file used keep track of what files need to be synchronized when you publish your website. I highly suggest you leave it alone.

Can I change the path of that file. I can't understand how it contains "user name" when none of my other Coffee Cup files contain the computers user name. I do this on purpose so that I can work on my website from different computers and the path be the same. example: c:\users\ . . .(not what I want) versus computer\c:\websitename\ . . .(what I want)

Thanks,

No, you cannot touch, tweak, modify or even look at that file. If you do, your computer will webstite up.

There are no file paths in that .php file that I have created. So I am guessing that VSD creates a new .php file related to and using the user name that matches the computer I am using when I upload. So I guess my question is will there be any conflicts if the computer user name does not match the .php file user name when I upload?

Also, if I upgrade to VSD 7 will my website files be stored in the S-drive cloud as well as on my computer and I will be able to edit them no matter which computer I am on?

Thanks and sorry for all the questions,
yeto

VSD knows how to read that php file and will do its magic.

Using S-Drive is completely up to you and your website will only upload to S-Drive if you configure it to do so. All website editing still need to be made through the software on the computer where the website project files are stored.
