Need to Port from Win98 to Linux server

[thebullseye]

I am editing a website on my Win98 machine. Unfortunately much of the site is in Perl and is hosted on a Linux server. Is there some software program that will save the PL files in Linux format so that they can be properly uploaded onto the server? Right now when I upload them, they return an unauthorized access server error when you view them on the web.

thebullseye,

I hope the Linux server provides a shell. It should. You're having a file permissions issue I believe. You need to change the file permissions for the .pl files to be world readable and world executable I believe...but double check on this. I'm sure there is documentation out there about how to setup scripts on your server.

Also make sure that you upload the files in ASCII mode. A lot of ftp clients use binary mode for default when dealing with .pl and .cgi files.
