| 63612 | 2002-07-20 04:37:00 | Well, that is not actually "missing". Each of those lines is a directory entry. There isn't one ending with "index.htm" because you don't have a file called "index.htm" in that directory. ;-) The structure of the line is: permissions, "1" = the number of links to the object (you can have multiple links (aliases) for one object), owner, group, size, creation date+time, and file/directory name. The owner is your username, the group doesn't matter at all here : a web site needs full rights for the owner, and suitable "world" rights. Normally, the permissions inside the directory are the same as those of the directory itself. You haven't been able to write to it because of the permissions on the directory, so it might still belong to "root", or they might have not given it the "755" permissions. (That's the other way to specify them - octal notation). |

| 63613 | 2002-07-20 04:39:00 | Susan, The problem is that your directorys are owned by 'root' drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jul 18 22:54 candy and as such, you don't have permission to transfer files into them they should read something like drwxr-xr-x 2 candy root 4096 Jul 18 22:54 candy if 'candy' was the user ID for the site. Give the helpdesk a tuneup. |

| 63614 | 2002-07-20 04:45:00 | In fact your files are also owned by root. (Which is why you can't delete them). Your user id should be the first of the two names in each of the directory listing lines. | wuppo (41) | ||
| 63615 | 2002-07-20 04:48:00 | Damn: was focussing on the "d" the first time, then looking at the non-existent directory entry the second time. :_| Ah well, we got there in the end. :-) | Graham L (2) | ||
| 63616 | 2002-07-20 05:00:00 | Yes, I was comparing your info with mine, wuppo and could see there was a difference. OK, I'll look up the helpdesk number and give them a call. Thank you for your help, both of you. :-) |

| 63617 | 2002-07-20 09:33:00 | Susan, Remember a few weeks back there was a post pressf1.co.nz on permissions with FTP? Problem there was trying to load folders into the root directory. If you're still having problems it may help to reread it. Heather |

| 63618 | 2002-07-20 09:56:00 | Thanks for that Heather . I had a look at the Ipswich site, which looks very useful, and it just confirms what wuppo said . I'm not doing anything different to previously and all the website files are visible in the right-hand pane - I just can't do anything with them . Adding another site to my account must have stuffed things up somehow . I've sent Orcon another email and if they haven't replied by Monday after work I'll phone them up . |

| 63619 | 2002-07-20 10:03:00 | One further thought... do you have a size limit on your site? Have you reached it? | Heather P (163) | ||
| 63620 | 2002-07-20 10:15:00 | Yup, there's a 10MB size limit and I have used a grand total of 0 . 36MB so far . I'd be in a bit of trouble if I had filled my quota, wouldn't I? Not even able to delete anything LOL . |
Susan B (19) | ||
| 63621 | 2002-07-20 10:27:00 | 0.36 out of 10Mb. You're pushing the limits are a bit aren't you? | Heather P (163) | ||
