how to update system with new version

[ccagle8]

deny should be on the zips folder... good catch, I must have missed it.

Copying all the files and folders over shouldn't overwrite any files. (just as long as you don't delete everything off your server beforehand)

The /data/ and /backups/ folders are empty in the zip download, so it shouldn't get rid of any files, just overwrites them if they are there.

I upgrade this way - are there other FTP clients and/or hosts that you've seen behave differently? i.e. deleting the files and themes?
