There's something else going on. I wish it was just spelling, but it's not. It's probably particular to OSX.

I tried the following:

   set the defaultfolder to "/users/myusername"
   put the folders into buffer

I get back the correct list of folders, including one called "Desktop"

I then try this:

   set the defaultfolder to "/users/myusername/Desktop"
   put the folders into buffer

It returns the list of folders inside the cgi-bin directory. I tried changing "Desktop" to "Library" and got the same cgi-bin results.

What's going on here?

Thanks.

Richard ,

I have done that dozens of time, mostly on linux & windoze servers...
So I'm not sure about OSX settings, but one thing I'd check first is the
spelling of the folder's name... it might sound silly, but many times
I have been blocked by spelling problems (or case sensitive spelling)
when referring to folders & files...

I don't understand what is happening with this. This is on a MacMini
server.

I ask a Rev cgi script the following:

     put (there is a folder "/users/myusername/desktop") into buffer

It returns TRUE.

I then ask the following:

    put (there is a folder "/users/myusername/desktop/foldername")
into buffer

(foldername = any folder sitting on the desktop)

It returns FALSE.

Does this have something to do with some setting I need to change on
the server?... or am I asking for information which is not accessible
from a Rev cgi script located inside the CGI-Executables folder?

What I ultimately want to do is have the Rev cgi script delete a
folder sitting elsewhere on the server. Is there a reason this can't
be done?

Thanks.
