Claim:
A computing system comprising a processor and a computer-readable medium embodying program components that cause the computing system to provide a web development environment, the program components comprising: a file transfer controller that causes the computing system to: select a transfer path directory name from a set of transfer path directory names, the set comprising at least some of a plurality of transfer path directory names in stored in a database of transfer path directory names, provide a sample file to be written to a file transfer server using the selected transfer path directory name, and request a web server to return the sample file; and a file comparator that configures the computing system to compare said sample file as provided to the file transfer server to a returned file, if any; wherein said file transfer controller sets a validation flag if a file is returned and the returned file matches said sample file as provided, and wherein said file transfer controller causes the computing system to select a different transfer path directory name from said set of transfer path of directory names and provide a sample file using the selected different transfer path directory name until said validation flag is set or until each of said transfer path directory names of said set are used.
