[Swift-devel] Documentation of sites.xml

I did try it (before posting) and it failed:

708/wc.file-20110613-1127-z8rf4ugb.log:500 End.] [Nested exception is org.globus.ftp.exception.UnexpectedReplyCodeException:  Custom message: Unexpected reply: 500-Command failed : System error in mkdir: Permission denied
708/wc.file-20110613-1127-z8rf4ugb.log:Caused by: org.globus.ftp.exception.ServerException: Server refused performing the request. Custom message: Server refused creating directory (error code 1) [Nested exception message:  Custom message: Unexpected reply: 500-Command failed : System error in mkdir: Permission denied

Presumably it would have been trying to create the dir in my home directory and it should have succeeded, but I'll look into it and find out.

In any case, I was preferring to take a more informed approach and implement according to the docs, hence my question.
