Instructions on how to upload CGI scripts

Login to your virtual server using FTP program. Once you're logged in go to the directory where you want to upload your cgi script, or create a directory called cgi. Using your FTP client set the file transfer mode to ASCII or auto mode (uploading CGI script in binary mode will not work).

owner=read/write/execute,
group=read/execute,
