 * Hi all, forst time trying to work on a site locally and then move to a live domain.
   Using WO Clone and uploaded the zip file into my root folder for the site and
   got an error as such:
 * The plugin encountered an error while downloading the zip file,the following 
   error message was returned:
 * Error Message : Forbidden
 * Temporary files created in /home2/paisan/public_html/vguintaroofingny.com/wp/
   wp-content/wpclone-temp will be deleted.
 * If this is a permissions issue, which folder needs it? Or am I following the 
   wrong path?

 * I got this when the folder I had the file in was protected. I just moved the 
   file to one that was not and had no issues after that.
