This ftp is better and free, no trial peroid!

http://www.smartftp.com

Just right click on the file(s), select 'Properties / CHMOD'. Put in the number 755 for your cgi files and 777 for your variable files.

I use CuteFTP, It is also real good. You can download it from http://www.download.com . All you have to do is right click on the file and select "CHMOD"

I got this:


555 Operation not permitted
! Chmod failed. It may not be supported on remote site.


I'll try asking the guy who set up the domain for me. Thanks for your help!

Are you using a Windows NT server or a Unix one?

I think it's UNIX, but I got it working now... I added a whole bunch of graemlins!

The thing is that my brother is the one who admins my site and like 3 or 4 more sites, so I just used his account to delete and change the cgi-bins and it worked perfectly.

I'm about to make another question, so if you can help on that one too, see you there!

You guys are really helpful, thanks!
