FTP Access to Frontpage 2002 web

[Fred]

I have a Fedora 2 server running Apache 2.0 with FP 2002 extensions properly
installed. I have uploaded my web using FP2002 fine with no problems at all
and it works great.

Problem: when I try to connect to the web via FTP I am being shut out of
being able to transfer anything to the site. For example, trying to FTP cgi
scripts to the cgi-bin directory and it will not allow me to do so. Cannot
transfer any file to any of the other directories of the site via FTP either.

Does anyone know what this might be?

contact your host. sometimes they set up different user rights/ permissions
for ftp than they do fp. btw, if you're not careful with the FTP you will
mess up your FrontPage server extensions.

Hi Chris...actually I am self hosting. The site is running on a Linux box in
my own center. So maybe I'm asking more of a UNIX permissions settings
question more than an FP question, but I was wondering if it was the
ownership permissions from within the FP web itself that was shutting out my
ability to FTP to directories not created by FP during the upload process.

As for the extensions I can always recreate them, that is a lesser issue.
I've been blowing away FP extensions and recreating them for years ;-)

have you tried chmoding your cgi-bin (the folder itself, not just the files) to
755 ? that is the "normal" settings for owern-read-write-execute and other for
read-write.
