Hi. I made a script with voting, I think that's working, but I can't put it to work because when I click vote or view results, it says that I don't have acess to that file. I asked my server (addr) the chmod, and they confirm it. Then I go with telnet, put my username and password, it accepts, but when I put "chmod 755 index.html", a "no file or directory exists", and I know it's there. Anyone please can help?

Thanks,
Nuno

You should be able to chmod using your FTP client, it is much easier to do so. What FTP client are you using? CuteFTP? WS_FTP?

Everyone here has a website. It's just that not all are worth posting (Mine! Smiling).

I do it with telnet, but I have Ws_ftp. How can I chmod a file and directory with that program?

Thanks

Right click on the file on server's computer, then choose chmod. Check the whole list (777) so you know if it will work or not. If it doesn't, then it's not a chmod problem.
