Hi
Is there a way to edit and save CSS changes relating to a skin without having to upload the CSS file each and every time to see the changes?? 
I make changes on my local dev machine, then I have to ask another person who has access to the servers to then upload the CSS files into the relevant folders on the actual server.
Is there a way to edit the CSS files directly through DotNetNuke without having to upload each and every time?

Thanks.

You can only edit portals.css, not the skin stylesheets.
But if you create a  skin package you can install that, the "only" access you need for it is a host account.

I suggest a different approach. Get a development copy of the site on a machine that you do have access to.

Work on the copy and then roll the changes live through some kind of 'sign-off' process.

Thanks for the tips. Just a pity there's no way to edit the skin files through dotnetnuke (I've had some experience with WordPress and I liked how all the theme files are accessible in the admin area of WordPress and you can just edit/adjust the files you need).
