(correct me if i'm wrong.) i would use 'put' then change the permissions with chmod 777 <filename> when  its been uploaded, though I would change it to 755 so only I had write permissions. plus its best to specify exact file locations as well as their names..   Hope this is of some help..   James   <hr />Be one of the first to try <a href='http://ideas.live.com/programpage.aspx?versionId=5d21c51a-b161-4314-9b0e-4911fb2b2e6d' target='_new'>Windows Live Mail.</a></body> </html>
