You mean one such directory is created with each run of the script, right? > The files > contained within the two directories are 0 bytes in size.

That check would succeed if there's a 0 byte length file, like you have, although that would clearly be a problem. Are you behind a proxy by any chance? If so, you must configure the script for that either via the script or in ~/.nessus-update-pluginsrc. Failure to do this would result in a 0 byte length file; so too would network problems or problems on the Nessus site. Still, I'd expect you'd see an error message from the actual retrieval. You might get more help if you run the script with the option "-vv", which is equivalent to running it as "sh -x". George -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
