Hey Bigguy, thanks for responding.
I was going to load a package via the admin package manager. It asked for FTP path information on the first attempt and soon as I hit enter I realized I had the wrong path to the smf....basically sent it to the test smf, not the production smf.
Now the package is showing installed on the server, but not on the production site. I can't find any way to change that FTP information for the package manager.
