texte = It sounds like it has something todo with the configuration of their apache/ webcat servers on the machine. We are running Webcat 4.51 on a CobaltRaq4 which is a Linux based OS and whenever I upload a .db file I alwayshave to change the permissions on it to 666 before it can be written by thewebserver since the webserver runs as the user httpd and the file owners arethe site administrators for the given domain. The only way to correct thisissue is to have the webhost change the default masking for uploaded files,which I highly doubt they will do.As far as your DW FTP goes what type of error is it giving you when you tryto connect? Or is it an error after the connection is established. Also,make sure that DWFTP is set to use PASV mode as Linux FTP tends to havebetter luck using the PASV mode for FTP.Jesse----- Original Message ----- From: "Dan Strong" To: "WebDNA Talk" Sent: Friday, February 27, 2004 9:32 AMSubject: Re: Upload to LINUX always breaks my sites - why?> Sort of, I am working with a webhost who, for the past 2+ years has had meon an OSX box which> seems to have been fine and dandy.
