Re[2]: ftp access on Macos X

texte = Nitai and Michael -It is not strictly a problem with WebCatalog, rather it is the nature of a secure operating system like Unix. Since WebCat was originally developed for the Mac and then NT, neither of which have anything like a real security system, when the Unix version came out, the existing model did not fit very well. 4.0 will include file uploads internally, so any solution now is hopefully temporary.For a Perl uploader script, see: http://www.eskimo.com/~dreun/projects.htmI have used this before and it is OK. It does need Perl and CGI.PM, but those should be easy enought to come by (for NT and Unix anyway). It appears pretty straight-forward to use/modify, and seems designed for at least moderate security. Obviously, you load this sort of thing at your own risk; I disavow all knowledge of this script ;)John Peacock ____________________Reply Separator____________________ Subject: Re: ftp access on Macos X Author:
