I knew someone would bring up that point sooner or later, and it's a legitimate remark. Hosting sites is system engineer work, and I'm MCSE . Scripts are programming work, and if you know a lot of professional IT people, you'll know that the twain rarely meet. I've always been more hardware and systems oriented and hated taking programming classes in college.
Running a host and running its website are 2 different skill sets. I don't solely possess all of the skills to do either all by myself, but the Air Force taught me that having good people is a key to success of an operation.
On top of which, I am also very busy with the design and maintenance of my adult sites, TGP'ing, SEO, a big PPC project, and publishing 3 newsletters.
So I made a decision to ask for some help from someone who could handle the matter in a few minutes rather than my devoting hours to it and having to go up a learning curve in the process.
I do have the chmod set correctly, but you may have something with the ascii FTP. I think I did binary. But right now I have located a programmer who is fixing it up, so I will make sure to ascii FTP it tomorrow.
Thank you for your comment and advice.
