Meta data relating to files in the parent folder |
Every folder (except some folders named _vti*) contains a _vti_cnf folder. Do not edit the contents. Do not publish to another site.
The _vti_cnf folder contains text files that have the same names and extensions as the corresponding files in the parent folder. This can (and does) confuse FTP programs and results in FPextensions being corrupted when FTP is used. |
