Not quite solved yet.
I believe this issue has been talked about before, but the answer is
not clear to me.
If I change the file attributes of a particular folder to "777" from
within my ftp program, my Rev cgi script can then go ahead and delete
it using Delete File and Delete folder commands. But if if then use a
Rev program to put a new folder on the server (via ftp) in the same
place as this last one, I can't delete it (unless I manually change
it to 777). There must be some setting on the server itself...
probably in the Ownership & Permissions area... to configure any new
folders placed there so they can be deleted by Rev... but I can't
sort out how to do this. This Ownership/Permissions area is
completely foreign to me.
Help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

I sorted it out. It was an Ownership & Permission OSX setting.
Can someone provide guidance on the correct way to set those
settings for unrestricted Rev cgi access, while still retaining
server security? Or is the security issue on a Mac (running its
native server app) not an issue, regardless of these settings?
Thanks.

There's something else going on. I wish it was just spelling, but
it's not. It's probably particular to OSX.
I tried the following:
set the defaultfolder to "/users/myusername"
put the folders into buffer
I get back the correct list of folders, including one called
"Desktop"
I then try this:
set the defaultfolder to "/users/myusername/Desktop"
put the folders into buffer
It returns the list of folders inside the cgi-bin directory. I
tried changing "Desktop" to "Library" and got the same cgi-bin
results.
What's going on here?
Thanks.

Richard ,
I have done that dozens of time, mostly on linux & windoze
servers...
So I'm not sure about OSX settings, but one thing I'd check first
is the
spelling of the folder's name... it might sound silly, but many
times
I have been blocked by spelling problems (or case sensitive
spelling)
when referring to folders & files...

I don't understand what is happening with this. This is on a
MacMini
server.
I ask a Rev cgi script the following:
put (there is a folder "/users/myusername/desktop") into
buffer
It returns TRUE.
I then ask the following:
put (there is a folder "/users/myusername/desktop/foldername")
into buffer
(foldername = any folder sitting on the desktop)
It returns FALSE.
Does this have something to do with some setting I need to
change on
the server?... or am I asking for information which is not
accessible
from a Rev cgi script located inside the CGI-Executables folder?
What I ultimately want to do is have the Rev cgi script delete a
folder sitting elsewhere on the server. Is there a reason this
can't
be done?
Thanks.
