On the new one, the login supplied logs into a directory where I don't have any writing rights... I have to 'cd httpdocs' and then it's okay. I'm annoyed with wviewftpd, because I don't find a workaround to make it writing data directly in 'httpdocs/img'. Do I have to specify something in the ftp server line in ftpconfig file ? On top of that, the ISP is reluctant to give users writing permissions in the login directory. Any idea ?

My isp does not allow me to telnet into the site to link to the directory. My solution was to change the ftpUtils.c file in the 'ftp' directory as follows: In the ftpUtilsSendFiles routine: from: sprintf (url, "ftp://%s:%s@%s" to:sprintf (url, "ftp://%s:%s@%s/public_html/", This will cause the files to be written into the correct subdirectory. After making this change you have to make and then make install. I hope this helps. Pat P.S. This would be a nice 'config' parameter.

Don't forget to grab the new wviewftp.conf-no-ftp (and rename it) and of course run wviewconfig. IF you do, let me know how it goes...

I hope to upgrade to your latest version towards the end of this week. I see Bodemory has already tested it so I believe in his work.
