So you just set this up like you would for global CGI programs. I am trying to set up a file manager for my customers. Would I set it up so that the user that wanted tom use the on-line file manager would sent it the variables that the script needs so that they only see the files in there directory. How would I keep them from looking at other directors This one has got me stumped and I am sure it is something simple that I am overlooking. Thanks Richard Kurth
