No, I was wrong. I mis read what the original poster was asking. What I'm
ignoring is you. You seem to have some issues with ego. You could have
pointed out my mistake but instead you insult me. One day that kinda
attitude will catch up with you... but for now you're on my ignore list.

I don't find Captain Paralytic to have any ego problems.

But I do find you have a problem with reading comprehension. You
obviously did not read what I - or anyone else earlier in this thread -
said before showing your ignorance. Or, if you read it, you didn't
understand it - a problem no other person in this thread had.

And now you try to tell CP HE's got a problem? That takes SOME EGO.
Either that, or the inability to accept you screwed up, and the need to
blame someone else for your screwup - or at least share the blame
instead of just accepting it yourself.

So you didn't read what the OP wrote.
You didn't read what Gordon wrote.
You didnt'read what Jerry wrote.
And you're ignoring me.

And I'm the one with the big ego?
Hmmmmmm.

Hi Gordon,
excuse me for my bad english, I'm italian.
With 'attacker' I mean 'Someone with a browser'.
I've read your and other users explanations, now is a bit more clear for
me what to do.

Just a last question, a little OT, about the chmod settings of my
website directory, what are the optimal settings? I've read about 750
for folders and 644 for files. What do you think?

Thanks and regards

Max
