We don't have one.

Doesn't appear to be. It seems to be for pushing out entire client version
upgrades, not configuration changes.

I seem to have run into a permissions issue. I decided to write out a new
"servers" file remotely. And after making a copy of the existing "servers
file", I was going to replace it with one that has the new name appended
to it. I can't (remotely) write out changes into the "nsr\res" folder at
all. I get "Access Denied". Yet my account shows that under effective
permissions, I have full access - Read, Write, etc. I can read the current
file, I just can't copy the new one into it.
So what am I doing wrong?
(This is Windows, if you couldn't tell. :-))
