Setup Permissions F2s

[SoulReaver]

Hi,

Can anyone tell how do I setup permissions with f2s.com and tera-byte.com, Im learning how to use cgi scripts and need some help. I already tried to contact them but still no reply.

Thanx in advance.

Usually you use 'SITE CHMOD 755'

WS_FTP LE by Ipswitch.com (available from www.tucows.com) and is free for personal use. This will help you out.

... because F2S doesn't permit it. Read the Perl/CGI FAQ at F2S.com

Hi,

Can anyone post down all types of permissions for my cgi scprits.

All .cgi Files 755
search.html 666
quick.html 666
def.html 644
help.dat 644
errors.dat 644
sdata 777

All .htmlt & .etmpl Files 644
Directory where list HTML files will be written 777

I'm trying to install AutoRank Pro to my tera-byte and f2s accounts but Im having to most diffcult time in my life. I've tried f2s support but no one home as well as tera-byte.

Where it says 777 - use 755.

The script will still work, but won't when you use 777.

If you want to use 777 use portland :)

portland? AGH!! *gasp* *gasp*

I tried using cgi on that server, but it is soooo slow, to even process a small script. I've got my domain on portland, but I'm using f2s for all my xgi stuff

I think portland is overselling cpu time more than bandwidth. I can ping them with a 20ms reply and I personally find downloads and ftp from them fairly fast (25kb/s +)

But getting a response off their http server can sometimes be rediculous.
