Boy am I getting conflicting info. I am beginning to think that my server
tech support people don't know what's going on. They say it WILL work and
that I just have it configured wrong on my end. So...I am in the middle
again.

I was wrong about the Microsoft instruction "Allow scripts or programs to be
 run" AND "Allow anonymous upload to this directory". I was looking at the
upload page properties instead of the FOLDER properties. In the Folder
Properties, they are grayed out. So this means that my server has to be
running a Windows server (they are runningUNIX)?????? In other words,
proving an Upload function for clients is out of the question?

I get such sparse help from them and each time I get an e-mail from them,
it's different response.
