I ask because it was accidentally deleted. Can I create a folder and name it cgi-bin, or "get" from a different site and "put" to this one in Dreamweaver? Or I am I stuck asking my hosting company to create a new one for me? Thanks.

If you do use scripting that requires it, you'll need to get your host involved because they'll have to configure permissions for the directory anyway... _____________________________ If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress?

By permissions do you mean read/write etc.. and the corresponding 3 digit number? Cause I know I can do that from with in the control panel. If so what would it need to be set to? Thanks (in reply to bobby)

I always do as a matter of courtesy and it usually pays off if there's anything the host needs to change on your account to allow scripting. The settings will probably depend on what your script demands, but each script usually comes with install instructions that will include server settings. I have some notes at home but I don't recall the numbers off the top of my head. _____________________________ If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress?
