Win NT
Hi,
Sounds like you are using an NT server. If you are, there is no need to set permissions like you would on a Unix server. What you may need to do is set write permissions for the directory. Depending on your host, you may need them to do it for you.

If you are asking about setting up permissions on NT to execute cgi scripts...Here is what you do:

1) If you have a virtual account (which I think you do) and your hosting company allows you to change directory and file permissions, you can use QFTP, WS_FTP, or AceXFTP to change directory permissions.

(Use the "file properties" or "directory properties" option...by right clicking on the file or directory.)

Here are some translations of file and directory permissions:

644 (rw-r--r--)

Owner: Read, Write
Group: Read
Everyone: Read

666 (rw-rw-rw-)

Owner: Read, Write
Group: Read, Write
Everyone: Read, Write

755 (rwxr-xr-x)

Owner: Read, Write, Execute
Group: Read, Execute
Everyone: Read, Execute

777 (rwxrwxrwx)

Owner: Read, Write, Execute
Group: Read, Write, Execute
Everyone: Read, Write, Execute

2) If you do not have the ability to change directory and file permissions, then you will have to contact your hosting company and ask them to change the permissions of the files and directories for you.
