Hi David, Thanks for that and sorry for my ignorance of Apache Tomcat but I have just moved from an old IIS server that didn't care about the file permissions. I am using ftp from Windows (using Dreamweaver) to a Unix box so windows doesn't know about setting file permissions in this instance.
I have put out questions on the HP side as well but I am just puzzled why Apache cares about file permissions instead of user/group security. Thanks again for any help you can give.

Set sticky bits on the permissions on the folder so new files created under it adopt it's settings. 2. Configure your ftp service to correctly set permissions on upload. Of course, I don't see where any of this has to do with tomcat, hence the OT marker in the subject. ---David [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: >Hi Tomcat users! > >I have a problem with user permissions on my web server - when a file is >ftp'd to the webserver the permissions are -rw-r----- and browsers trying >to access the url are forbidden to view.
