Hi Jeff,

I don't have answers for everything, but what I do have is interspersed within.
Enjoy!

Can't you go into the shell and do a chmod on the file?

I've seen this, and I think it's because maybe you created the file as an MPE
type file and not a bytestream file? In my (miniscule) playing with Apache, it
likes bytestream files way better than MPE fixed length files. VI or another
similar editor, or appropriate use of the tobyte posix command usually fixes
things.

If you go into the File menu, then to Transfer, you should see a Setup push
button (on 7.0, there may have been a separate Transfer Setup item on the File
menu, I can't remember). In the Setup dialog box, there should be a bunch of
'Preset Configurations' on the Protocol tab. The default selection is 'To
HP3000', I think. There should be a configuration that reads 'To MPE/IX
(POSIX)'  choose that and see if it makes a difference.
