I connect with my FTP client to 127.0.0.1 as admin with all rights, if I try to chmod my perl cgi file in the cgi-bin permissions to 755 for example I get the error message: "502 'SITE' not implemented ! chmod failed. It may not be supported on remote site." I need to do this to read/write to a flat file pipe database. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Regards, Steve
