Re: Newbie - still working on my first script.

Seems to me that space in the file copy is what's causing problems. Try changing "ads/ $File_name" to "ads/${File_Name}". Just a note that doing things that way can cause big problems, especially on unix systems.. imagine if you went to your website and type: http://site/index.php?File=%2Fetc%2Fpasswd&File_name=hacked.txt Also instead of copying then unlinking the file, you can avoid the above problem by using move_uploaded_file(). See the documentation for this command here: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.move-uploaded-file.php Mike Tgl wrote:

I got the file to upload to my folder. But when I go to download it to my PC using FTP, it tells me NO SUCH FILE, but I can see it in the folder. The folder has read, write, execute permissions.
