Paul,
Are all of the files and subdirectories under
/var/www/www.suncoastlug.org also writeable (and for the subdirs,
executable) by your user? You can make a backup of your backup and then
try "cd /var/www ; rm -R www.suncoastlug.org" and see if you get any
complaints about file permissions.
Another wonderful solution for websites is to use CVS. Put your
repository on spaceghost, and when you want to update a live site: ssh
into rocky, cd into /var/www/www.suncoastlug.org, and run 'cvs update'.
You (and other developers) can have working copies (that can be tested
in-sito) which are only committed to the repository when they look good.
Some HTML editors (e.g. Quanta+) even speak CVS right in their GUIs.
