Remote admin access to .php files

[jered]

I'm an admin of the forum...

the owner is on his own server and he installed everything got a basic forum started and it's been played with pretty much what came with it...

now it needs more fine tuning with hacks and such...

Doesn't the 3.0.7 cost to download? Just wondering... or is it a free thing for people who already have the software?

So I can pass onto the owner if there will be a cost...

I've never worked with the software... will I need to download something to allow me to download the .php files from the server?

I know a whole bunch of newbee questions...

Any help would be greatly appriciated as the owner said he though I had access to all of these things already... and doesn't know how to get me the access... he thought I could access it via the admin panel... but I don't see how...

Thanks in advance...
