It's a dedicated server
I have full access to it

I use remote desktop to get to it as needed
Plesk to manage it
and FTP to upload files as needed

no pcanywhere......

I want to backup some dbs that are kept
in the scripts folder, but can't get to them via ftp

Plesk automatically creates a "cgi-bin" folder as it manages and makes domains, but no links to the generic scripts folder, which is where I need to be able to gain ftp access to. Anything I've tried can't seem to make it show up via ftp no matter what. Virtual directories just don't seem to wanna show up and I'm thinkin' its because of Plesk.

If I use remote desktop and make a virtual directory within this "Plesk" created group of folders pointing to that directory within "scripts", it doesn't ahow up via FTP, only via remote desktop. And it sure seems like that would solve this.

Gotta be a Plesk thing.

I love Plesk on this server, except for this current directory thing
ugh
