within a local network i am trying to upload a file from my computer to an other computer on which i have windows2000/apache/php running. i am getting the following message when trying to upload the file:

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /images_2/< on this server.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Apache/1.3.27 Server at localhost Port 80

any ideas what i can do to actually get access.

thanks hansie

Check which user you are running as (if it's from the web then that's probably I_USR_yourcomputername) and give that user the rights to write to the required folder.

i am working in a local network so i assume that mycomputername is the
user that i am running as. where however can i grant access for this user to upload files to a directory under apache. any ideas.

Prehaps I'm missing something here, but the fact remains that "<" is not a valid character for a directory or filename.

i know, but do you know what the strange things is. if i test the file on a domain which is run by my provider (so outside of my network), there is no hassle. it works fine. this is however apache running on unix. strange isn't it. i am a bit lost here.

well if the problem is the "<" character then that would make sence. *nix is much more tollerant of things like that, especially Apache. My advice, choose an alphanumeric character.

If that still does not do it you may need to make sure that your do have the permissions to upload. 2k can very picky. I love using it for a work stations but making sure everyone can access can be a chore sometimes.
