Shelly check out tortoise SVN - it is free and open source even for
windows, and will stop you or anyone else screwing up files, even if
you all edit it at the same, it allows you to step back not just
through versions of a file, but through versions of your entire code
base, while allowing strict security control, and multiple users, you
can edit files offline while on the train, at work, and then at home,
and commit whenever you have an internet connection, and synchronise
is all places. Oh and it integrates with windows explorer to allow
simple right click commit and updates. FTP is all very well, but it
doesnt work with multiple users without some kind of complicated and
fake "locking" mechanism by dreamweaver and so on...
