Open a shell and 'cd' to the directory you are storing the files you are trying to access. Then run the 'ls -l' command to see who is the owner of the files you are accessing. Then run the 'whoami' command, and see if the user you are logged in as, is the same as the owner of the files you are accessing. I would guess that the files are owned by a different user, and that the permissions permit anyone to read them, but not to modify them. -- -wittig http://www.robertwittig.com/ http://robertwittig.net/ http://robertwittig.org/ . ------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from this list, please email [EMAIL PROTECTED] & you will be removed.Yahoo!
