Dear all
I am trying to publish a web site (done using front page) with a CGI File/folder the problem is that after i have published the site by using ftp certain images on my webpage are not right. I have been told by my ISP that I need to place my CGI folder and its contents onto a differant ftp sever which i have done but this has not made any Difference.
Could one one you clever people out they give me a clue as to what i am doing wrong.
many thanks
Pete

You have to be more specific on what you mean by "not right". It also might help to have the website address to see it. The CGI folder has to have script/execute permissions and generally you don't want this folder below the code so hackers can't abuse it. The ftp server has to set this up. It shouldn't matter which ftp server you use. Generally Front Page handles most of these matters for you if you have an ISP that supports Front Page Extensions. Make sure you are using the same version too. Ask him what version his extensions are. Front Page can be a pain to support. I like Dreamweaver.
