I have been given the job of editing our company website, already published
using Dreamworks. I am reverse publishing it to my local drive for editing.
When I try to do this, it gives me an error message saying, "The URL
'.filter' is invalid. It may refer to a nonexistnt file or foler, or refer
to a valid file or folder that is not in the current Web." The folder
'.filter' is empty. Can I delete it from the website or does it have a
purpose?
 
The folder/file was not created by FP and because it name starts with a period, FP can not manage it
either. You need to check with whoever was responsible for the web site to determine if this
folder/file is needed, etc.
