CGI Scripts
How do I upload a script?
Uploading a cgi script to your
virtual server is simple. Login to your virtual server using FTP, once logged in
go to the directory where you want to upload your cgi script to. Make sure
that your FTP client is set to ASCII mode (if you upload in binary then
your script will not work), upload your cgi script ensuring that it has a
.cgi extension.
What are permissions and how do I set
them?
To make a script work then you must make the script
executable, you do this by setting the permissions on the script. A cgi
script should be given the following permissions:-
755 or
owner=read/write/execute, group=read/execute, world=read/execute
To
learn how to set permissions using FTP then please visit our FTP guide.
