OK, I finally figured out how to use windows FTP.EXE to upload via FTP EXCEPT I have one question. Where do I put the file FIDSIFT.SH in windows so FTP.EXE recognizes/finds it. I know it's probably a simple answer but I can't seem to get the FTP program to find it. Arghhh

The easiest thing to do would be to change your current directory in the DOS box to where fidshift.sh exists before running ftp.exe.

That is, do:

c: (or d: or whatever to get on the right drive)
cd \This\is\where\you\extracted\the\file

Thanks, tried that, worked perfectly. Once I got the file loaded I typed "chmod 0755 fidsift.sh"
It came up as a bad command. Is this needed?

Try it without the zero.

FAQ master, you'd be proud. Went to the FAQs (although admittedly after posting the question first) and found out that LITERAL SITE is used before chmod. After typing this it worked fine.

Thanks!

The zero is normally required, as it identifies the numeric value as being in Octal notation. But with Hijack, I forget.. it might just be ignored.

Cheers

I've never seen it required of a chmod command (that is, it is required when programming in C, much to my continual chagrin ), and I've been doing sysadmin for ten years or so.
