OK, here's my situation. I have a website hosted by a web hosting company. Their server is a Win2000 server. I'm trying to get some Perl scripts running, but I'm having trouble getting my scripts to access text files. It always comes back permission denied. CHMOD doesn't seem to do anything, which I expected since their server isn't UNIX. So my question is, is there any way to remotely set permissions of Win2000 files? Perhaps through Perl, or some FTP client command...? The only alternative is to keep sending messages to the hosting company every time I add a new file. Supremely annoying. Thanks for any tips you may have!
