You have to save each file under the same name as you opened it.

well all not good i started by making a new folder in cig-bin dir and chmod 755 it then opened eauction.pl in note pad made change to my email address and set time for close after last bid to five mins went to drag into ftp program into new folder and it just dissapeared cant be found so tried again with sucess dont know where first on went then config i opened and did not find anything need change placed that in folder on ftp program and they both went to site tried test and nothing page not found on net after looking for sulution i tried editing and saving them in the downloaded file  as when i unziped file came with hammer and camera etc and maybe they are needed tried putting all into ftp program and all files went except eauction.pl came up with this error my pages for site are stored in htdocs file. I notice from error below it wants to be called /htdocs i am thinking i might have to change in script (cig-bin/) to (/htdocs/cig-bin) would that be the issue if so were would i look or am i on the wrong track can i have your views please
STOR eAuction.pl
       550 eAuction.pl: No such file or directory
CWD /htdocs/cgi-bin/eauction161
       250 CWD command successful
TYPE A
I am thinking i should change path here to htdocs

The name of your servers cgi-bin directory
   $config{'cgi_dir'}            = 'cgi-bin'; # Default for most servers
   
# The cgi-bin subdirectory where your eAuction.pl will be stored
   $config{'auction_dir'}      = 'eAuction161';

(sorry about the life story have been told to give as mutch info as possible to make a quarry easy to sort out if to long let me know and will keep them shorter)
