Hello,

I am trying to write a script that displays (with hypertext links) the names
of every file in a certain directory. I have finished the directory listing
part (and appropriate html), but what I need to do now is be able to upload
files and allow them to be downloaded by others.

Currently, I am able to upload the files to the desired folder...but I am
not able to view them online as I am able to do with the files in the folder
I put there originially. The ownership of the files is different, but when I
manually change them it doesn't seem to make much of a difference. Although
I see the new file's name on my page, when I click on its link, I get
"Object not found!...Error 404".

Does anyone know what is different about the files I upload and the ones I
create on the server myself?

Thanks,
Dari
