No, this is still all on one machine (Mac Powerbook with 10.3.9).
The files are in a folder on the desktop and the CGI is in the /

I've tried (whilst in the IDE) importing all the data into
customProperties in the CGI, and that works, but I can't actually
get the CGI to sucessfully open and read any files, even if I copy
them into the same CGI-Executables folder and set their permissions
to 755.
It can, however, get the list of files from the folder they're in,
so I'm pretty sure my paths are fine.
You said you had set the Desktop folder to 644. I don't think that's
a good move. However, if the files are in the CGI-Executables folder,
and have permissions set to 755, they should be readable. Are they
loose in the CGI-Executables, and not in a sub-folder? If they're in
a subfolder, check the permissions on that.
I don't know if this is relevant or not, but my ISP has the following
rule (from their user manual) ...
*CGI-BIN*
At the same directory level as httpdocs you will find your cgi-bin
directory. You should ensure all your scripts reside within this
directory. You may only place CGI scripts within this directory.
Attempting to read any other file types (such as HTML files) from this
directory will not be permitted.
so it might be worth trying it with a file outside the CGI-Executables
directory.
