A2ki & multiple ftp dropboxes

I cannot seem to get A2ki to recognize that a single ftp site might have more
than one dropbox.
I've set up several dropboxes, one for ContractA, one for ContractB, etc, each
one with it's own password.
A2ki will let me enter a password for one, (file...open..tools..Add/Modify FTP
Locations...Logon as..password)but not more than one - thus, I cannot segregate
projects, or exclude different operators or collaborators from a particular
project. If I try to set up a new ftp location w/ the same ftp address, A2ki
wipes it when you try a new file..open session. I have no trouble getting my
standalone ftp client (CuteFTP) to handle this.
Any clues as to what I may be doing wrong?
Thanks,
Mike

Michael,

Bud and I looked at this problem and found out that just like in MS Office
2000 unfortunately you can not enter two different logins for the same FTP
site. I understand that this is inconvenience for you but that's how it
works. We will enter it as a wishlist item in our database. No timeframe
though if and when it will be resolved. Sorry.

We did verify that each of your projects on ftp site is accessible from
AutoCAD 2000i but if you need to access both projects at the same time, you
will have to use dedicated FTP software (in your case it's CuteFTP).
Otherwise you will have to switch logins in Add/Modify FTP dialog before
accessing another project.

Hope it helps.

Misha

Mikhail & Bud;
Thank you very much for your attention and quick response.
What, then, is the suggested method for using A2ki on multiple projects within
an office intranet, or for that matter across the internet for collaboration
with subcontractors, designers, etc, on multiple projects that are stored on a
server? I know this is a broad question, but the rather straightforward solution
I came up with apparently is not provided for in A2ki - which was exactly why I
bought it.
Thanks again,
Mike
