Hi Malcolm, Sorry about restating my FTP question, I missed the top part of your reply. I in no way wanted you to play remote sys admin, just thought there may have been something I missed about FTP.
Since this is a personal server, I don't have any sys admin to save the day :) Ill have to just keep digging around till I stumble on the fix (which Im sure will be simple as they always seem to be...). I will be looking specifically into permissions issues as you suggested. Thanks a lot for your time and effort. Cheers, Dana On Wed, 2008-10-15 at 19:45 -0700, D.
