Hello All We've been talking about the broth for sooo long now, I almost don't remember what the initial request was.
But joking aside, I would like to thank you very much for the advertising that I have received again. I found the solution myself yesterday, like almost all the other questions I had asked for individually in this forum. Unfortunately, such "small" inquiries are simply discussed deeply and for a long time and philosophized heavily, unfortunately I didn't have that much time for this small inquiry.

That's right. "Experimentally" confirmed :) I always had this (obviously mislead) notion that the web server checks read permission along the whole path to read-access a file. At least lighttpd doesn't (but I gues this kind of convention will be common to all servers). > > And the file itself, c3560, also needs read permissions. > > We don't know that, yet :) > > Yes, assuming the intent is to deliver the file's content, it'll need > read permission on the file itself. So, Maurizio -- to finish this riddle: what does "ls -l c3560" say? C'mon, the suspense is hard to bear ;-) Cheers -- t
