I've tried to troubleshoot this but can't figure it out, any input would be great. I have a script that opens two text files for reading. Thing is I don't what these readable from the web, just thru the script. I tried putting deny permissions on the text files for the iusr account but the script couldn't then open them (I thought scripts just needed system access?). Any ideas? I'm not quite sure waht you're asking. If your goal is to make the directory unreachable from the web you can: Create a blank index.html page for the directory. Any web access will only display so only a blank page. Deny or password access via the web server. Check how your server handles this. I use both appraoches. _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Web mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/listinfo/perl-win32-web
