FTP problem *******500 POINTs AVAIL***********

Hello,
We've created a FTP site where members of staff can get there docs from any computer, how can you save the document back to the original location?

example:

you double click a word document (via FTP, it opens in IE), type away all day then close the IE window

It propmpts you to save it, then it saves it via ftp back to the server.

Because at the moment it will only allow you to save the document locally, then you can manually drag it onto the ftp window and it uploads it to the server, we wnat this to just automatically upload the changes when you close the window

why are you using FTP for this in the first place?  why not just setup a regular file server with a share on it and have your users acces the files via a share?  that way it will work the way you want it to.

I don't believe this to be possible - FTP was not designed for that.
Well obviously some points would be prefferred...
I agree - dragon-it gave the closest thing to a solution and I gave the answer ;).
