So the text files you're trying to read on your desktop but the CGI
is on a (presumably remote even if in the same room and on the same
subnet) server? Is that the architecture?
Have you tried logging into the server and copying those files from
your desktop? That would tell you whether there's some sort of
underlying connection issue or permissions problem.

It's opened from a simple text CGI.
I think the problem maybe that the the files are in a folder on my
desktop - however, having changed the permissions for the desktop
to 644 ( was this a stupid thing to do? no-one else uses the
machine), the problem persists. The stack works properly in the
IDE, and the paths to the files are absolute and complete, as it
were (no specialFolderPath, or anything).
Thanks,
Mark

The html stuff is all working fine, but the stack is unable to

Could some kind soul tell me what the permissions should be, both
for the stack (which resides in the CGI-Executables folder,
currently 755) and for the files (which live elsewhere).
644 should work for reading the files. (Anyone can read, only the
owner can write.)
When you say a "CGI stack", do you mean a script file, or a stack
that is opened by a script file? However, 755 should work in
either case, unless you need to dave the stack.
Cheers
