It needs to be mode 755, and owned by the login id your son is using to log onto the FTP server. His friends will have to use a different id, or an anonymous logon. If you're running a firewall, you'll find that FTP is a PITA to deal with. sftp doesn't have those problems. There's a nice free windows sftp client at <URL: http://winscp.vse.cz/eng/ >. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
