Unfortunately, I don't know what the FTP engine is in OS X, so that can make it a bit more difficult. The way I always did it was to use file sharing and then SSH to set permissions. I would open the connection via File Sharing, move the files and then do the following in my local terminal: ssh jesse@server.com type my password cd /Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables/WebCatalogEngine/Globals/ sudo su type my password chmod -R 660 * chmdo -R +x * chown -R jesse:www * And the flush the webcatalog prefs. Once the files are there, you can edit them or replace them and the permissions generally stay the same. -- Jesse Williams-Proudman Blue Box Development :: Custom Web Solutions +1.206.778.8777 :: jesse@blueboxdev.com *Happy Holidays* ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
