permissions ... keeps asking for username and pass
When I click on a link and it goes to jump.cgi it asks for a username and password. I recently moved the script to a new host. If I am having permission problems can someone give a complete list for every file.

And did you change the directory structure?

If you moved the jump.cgi and other CGI scripts into the admin directory, then you will be prompted for a username/password.

Did you switch to a NT host with Front Page Extensions?

If so, then there could be problems with how you have set up the child/sub webs.

Thanks for your reply. You got my brain kick started again and I figured out that I had password protected the cgi-bin and not just the admin folder.

It's working now. I can't believe how long I spent looking right at the problem.
