text files, which includes most cgi files are uploaded in ASCII or text mode. Just about all other files should be uploaded in binary mode.

If you are asking because you had a problem with the script not working. 1. premissions need to be 755, well not really, there are other ones, but 755 is standard. in ws_ftp right click on the file after uplaoding and click on chmod or change permissions or some such. 2. this is rare but utterly confounding, the file on your computer is probably in dos format (end of line character) some upload programs convert text documents to Unix automatically some don't some server setups wont run dos format scripts. in this case you could run dos2unix from the command line but I doubt that is an option for you, another option would be to use "EditPlus" to edit your scripts and click document then fiel format and change everthing to unix.

he said he is using ws_ftp, which will change the line endings properly.
