In storing the results of a form, I want to define a filename. I am having
trouble specifiying a path to save it.
What form should the pathname take referring to the web site file structure?
Thank you!
 
If you are using the FP extensions to process the form data, the
results file should be in the _private folder, with a relative path
pointing to it.
For a form located in the root, this will be similar to
_private/results.csv
For a form one folder level down, use ../_private/results.csv
2 levels down: ../../_private/results.csv
 
OK that works. Now I also had a hyperlink pointing to that file figuring I
could downlaod it, but it seems I don't have permissions...how would I
establish the permissions?

thanks again!!
 
Let me add to the prceding that I can see that I have all the permissions I
need as the Owner of the directory non the web.
The question then becomes how do I sign on the web site as the owner?
 
You would have to open the site directly in FP to access the content of the _private folder, which
is the open folder with the permissions needed by the FP extensions to be able to write to a file
within the site.
