Q2.  How do I make a CGI file executable via FTP?

  If you are using a text-based FTP client, you can issue the command site chmod 755 file.cgi, where file.cgi is the name of the CGI file. Many graphical FTP clients also allow you to enable to make a file executable, but you will have to read the documentation for that program. If you are using FTP Explorer, you can make a file executable by going to Tools->Quote and entering the command site chmod 755 file.cgi, where file.cgi is the name of the CGI file.
