    Hello,

    I created a form located at mywebsite/timestamp/use/timestamp/form1.html

    I downloaded the page that the form is in via FTP and edited it to match my website's color scheme, but now I can't upload it to my server. I get the following error when I try to upload it via FTP:
    Status:    Connected
    Status:    Starting upload of C:\Documents and Settings\Jennifer\My Documents\Emblem, Inc\website\timestamp\use\timestamp\form1.html
    Command:    CWD /public_html/timestamp/use/timestamp/
    Response:    250 OK. Current directory is /public_html/timestamp/use/timestamp
    Command:    PWD
    Response:    257 "/public_html/timestamp/use/timestamp" is your current location
    Command:    TYPE A
    Response:    200 TYPE is now ASCII
    Command:    PORT 172,168,0,104,13,230
    Response:    200 PORT command successful
    Command:    STOR form1.html
    Response:    553 Rename/move failure: Permission denied
    Error:    Upload failed

    Any suggestions? Thanks!

      The ftp program first has to remove the old copy before placing the new one.  The file permissions are probably read only.  Change the file permissions and try again.

      Hello,

      The permissions were alreadt set to 777 read/write/execute, is that what you mean? Because I'm still having the same "permission denied" problem. Thanks in advance for your time.

      What about directory permissions? 
      I don't particularly agree with the phpFormGenerator comment to change all files and directories to 777 but that should not necessarilly be a bad thing if all you want to do is create and use a form.

      I had this same problem. Unfortunately I can't explain the solution (someone took care of it for me), but it has to do with who is set as the "owner" of the files. On the server, the files that I couldn't change were owned by "nobody" and the ownership needed to be changed to my id.

      You have to be owner just to change permissions.  If you did this and now the issue turns out to be you are no longer the owner, this will definitely be a server issue that we can not resolve.  Call your Host if this is what you determine. 
      FYI, most fpt/web tools only let you see file permissions not the file owner, ask you Host about this issue.  If you could telnet to your server you might see file owner properties.

      Seems to be a bug in this script, but here is a solution: Copy the entire folder you make to clipboard, edit the -html or other files you want. Then upload to your server with another name. Chmod all files as described in README.file.
