You don't want to leave the directory at 777; that should only be for testing. You can set all the user prefs files to 777 and see if that fixes it. If so, then the 600 and the file ownership are not correct. SSH is just what you use to connect to your host. What you need to be familiar with is basic unix commands. Try "man chmod" and "man chown". Or search google or get a book on *nix. Once you read up on it, these are very easy concepts. - Paul >> ERROR >> Preference file, ../data/usersemail.pref, could not be opened.
