Workaround for no chmod on NT Server? Edit | Delete | Quote | Reply
I am trying to run the install.cgi from a web browser to complete the installation of FORUMS on a remote NT Server, and am getting:
  • Unable to write to directory (e:/webs/10511/aes-asset_tracker/images). Reason: (Permission denied)

    My research tells me this is because NT Servers do not support chmod and since I just created this "images" directory, the web server will not allow an anonymous user (which I believe what the install.cgi user is) upload/unpack images into this directory. If I am correct, what is the work around, aside from having a support rep manually set the permissions of my image directory for me? There must be a better solution? Telnet or something?

    Thanks in advance,
