Make sure when you upload the CGI file DO NOT upload in binary mode,
instead use ASCII mode. Uploading in binary will cause the server not
to recognize the scripts as executables. Most FTP clients will upload
.pl or .cgi files in binary mode by default so you will need to change
this. You will need to upload the scripts into your cgi-bin directory
for security reasons, however they will execute from anywhere within
your account.
The last step is to set the file permissions. This is otherwise known
as chmoding and can be done from most FTP clients. For specifics on
chmoding you can refer to our "chmoding files" help section.
