world</title></head><body>
<div>A listing is below. It shows the user 'tq' (aka, me) has a
directory called 'Sites'. Inside that is a directory created for this
experiment by Frontier called 'tempDir'. You can see that tempDir has
severely restricted privileges.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>There is one bit of confusion here. Frontier is not running on
the OSX box. It is running on my old OS9 machine, as it has been for
years. It uses Fetch to send files to the web servers for my websites.
That works fine except this new website which is running on an OSX
box. The new machine (an old iMac running Jaguar) works fine except
that its ftp function does this weird permissions by default.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I had trouble with the files it created, too. However, Fetch has
a function that sets the default permission for uploaded files. Not so
for created folders.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>So, I think the solution is to change the OSX ftp function
default for folders it creates to something a little more webserver
friendly.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Thanks for the help.</div>

Can you give an ls -l listing of the directories that frontier has
created, as well as their parents where frontier is able to add
files? What user is frontier running as? <br>
<br>
e.g. in a small website like:<br>
<br>
website/workingDir/nonworkingDir<br>
<br>
cd website<br>
ls -l<br>
cd workingDir<br>
ls -l<br>
<br>
