Petz, Re: I've seen books on CGI scripting language but don't know much myself. So let me tell you, the article you quote is damn wrong. A well managed WEB server only allows CGI to be run from a specific directory which in no way someone can ftp an EXE to. What it describe is a case which will bomb the machine that access the URL link like "ftp://user/crash.exe". For Netscape or IE, the machine that access this link will be asked to execute the program or not. The server is NOT AFFECTED in anyway. If you don't know, ask. Don't assume. Gary
