the server handling forum wasn't working so i came here. sorry.

i have a font site at sweetessence.com/fonts/

i linked the images to the font zip file but when you click on it, it gives a 403 instead of downloading the file.

probably somethings wrong with the chmodds.

how do i fix it?

I was given this message:

You don't have permission to access /navin/fonts/Abandone.zip on this server.

However I have no idea what that means.

You will want to try to FTP or telnet your server so you can try changing the file permissions of the file and/or directory. You will want chmod 755 I think. To get more help, you should contact your web host as they probably can offer a solution or reason for the error more quickly as they know the server type and settings etc.

isn't 755 the chmodd for cgi files?

navin,

Although it is rare I have seen a couple hosts that don't allow zip files, you can upload them but when the server sees that mime type it gets flagged. I would try uploading a zip file to your root/home folder and if you get the same error message there then that must be the problem.
