I've inherited the Craft website and the developer is long gone. How do I access the templates used to initally build the site? Our website was created by someone who is no longer with the business. I can edit existing data, however am trying to access the original templates used when the site was originally built in order to change a few things. Where would I find these?
I suppose you need access via FTP to the templates directory - which by default is craft/templates. Once you have access to that, you'll have access to the site templates. Do you have FTP access?

There's no way in Craft to view your templates through the Control Panel interface.
