Sorry for any confusion. I run an Apache web server on my local iMac and do all my development here before uploading to my host. My Perl script copies an epub from my Desktop to a local directory for testing the local web site. This is where I'm running into problems. The commands I'm using are: my @sys=("cp", "-R", "-i", "/Users/user/Desktop/$FileName", "/Volumes/Backup3/httpd/public/local/fiction/data/$Author/$FileName"); system(@sys) == 0 or die "system cp failed: $?"; When I access the library web site, it shows me list of recent files which are clickable. Previously I could click a file (in Safari), and it would download fine. But now it's throwing an error: 'Forbidden. You don't have permission to access /fiction/data/Baldacci,David/Saving Faith.epub/ on this server.' This is where 'ls' tells me that file is a directory, not a file.
