Thread Access to data files on remote server

"William Whitaker"
I have been running my DBISAM server for several years (hosted by my ISP).
Recently, I needed to create and start up a new DBISAM Server which they
did. I am able to login to the new server without any problems. My issue is
that I cannot see the data files that I copied into a \DATA folder
(basically replicating the same folder structure as my other DBISAM server).
I created the database (WEBDATA) in the Server Admin Utility and entered the
path (\QAD10\DATA\), but am unable to see the tables in that folder when I
login to the remote server and switch to that database. What do I need to do
to give me visibility to these new tables stored in this \DATA folder?
Actually, I'm asking for them since they do not have a tech that is up on
setting up DBISAM server properly.

How do u upload files to this server ?
Have u got an ftp account ?
My guess is if you entered the path to \DATA\
correct in the server admin util then whoever installed
the new server deleted it ask them to find the
files in the recycle bin by name and reinstall
them. I would advise if u cant afford a dedicated
server get a VPS with full control.

My guess would be that the folder that you used is not on the same volume as
the dbsrvr.exe, which means that you'll need to be explicit about the drive
letter in the path specification.
