http://lists.evolt.org/archive/Week-of-Mon-20010115/023511.html found this thread but it refers to a server where the "user" has the equivalent of "command line" ie. admin.. access mappings? .....'schmappings' this is all too much for the Apache fella!!! How can I add the .htm extension to parse SSI (incl. running embedded CGI) via FTP? What is the equivalent of .htaccess in the IIs 5.0 webspace anyone? Or is this just too difficult for anyone to answer ;) FB
