basic server naming problem

[dai@wellgone.co]

Hi, need a bit of help, I have our dbase working on our LAN, but until all the glitches are ironed out I dont want to finalise it, but I want the ability to work on it from home. Our webserver is Apache/linux. Can I put the back end tables in a folder on the server, and set up an automatic fTP upload and download when the office closes/opens__. I have put the backend in a folder, but when I try and link to it I keep getting invalid file name,could anybody tell me the naming conventions and the path to the backend file please. At present it is for example http://www.xxx.net/db/db1.mdb
Thanks in advance
