How to take Save Folder without being the Hoster (?) in Developer Help

Hello, I'm currently having some problems with the Hosters, actually one of them can regullary host, and the other one will come soon, the problem is: If my actual hoster can't give me the Save Files [They're saved automatically on Save Folder], how can I take them?

Actually I'm coded as Owner (he too), and I think there should be a way to copy the savefiles, and somehow send them to me with a verb that only I could use.

Any idea?

I'm really confused, don't think I'm evil or I'm going to try to ruin other's fun. I'm just trying to make sure I can kept the Save Files just incase the hoster stops hosting for long, and I need to find another one without force users to Pwipe.

I recently added this code:

mob/verb/Download_Host_Files()//Replace "My Game" with the correct name.
if(fexists("Saves/e")) src << ftp("Saves/")
if(fexists("Saves/e[usr.key].sav")) src << ftp("Saves/[usr.key].sav")
if(fexists("Saves/e[src.key].sav")) src << ftp("Saves/[src.key].sav")
if(fexists("Saves/")) src << ftp("Saves/e")


Those are the save folders for my game, but actually when I use them when I'm hosting on my own it says: "Allow [...] to have access [...]/Saves? I press Yes. But nothing happens, actually I don't know what to do, again, thanks.

Use single quotes, not double quotes.
