Antoher question...

[Spencer2002]

In my FTP client, I have a file in my htdocs directory called cgi-bin. The icon is half of a folder and half of a regular file. I can't open it and I can't move it. The last time it was updated was 08/31. Would it be okay to delete it or should I keep it there?

Thanks.

You should have 3/4 folders at the top level.

cgi-bin>for perl, cgi scripts
htdocs>.htm, .html, .php - most everthing selse really
logs>log files
etc>if you activated webstats

Do not delete or change permissions for any of these.

Without knowing what you have going on, not sure if you want to delete cgi-bin folder that is inside the htdocs folder or not. You can run scripts from inside the htdocs folder.

Your only 'cgi-bin' should be on the same level as 'htdocs'. If there is a 'cgi-bin' in 'htdocs', it was probably created by a program you installed.

If it is empty, you can delete. BUT DO NOT delete the one on the same first level as 'htdocs'.
