well, to do a chgrp, you need to have either root access, or be a member

(assuming you can chmod, and that you have cgi access), is chmod a
directory to world writable, and write a cgi that will create a
subdirectory in there...  the subdirectory will be created by the web
server, so it'll be owned by/grouped to the webserver...  then you can
chmod the parent directory back to "safe" permissions (755), and the
webserver can still write to it's subdirectory :)

That would help, except that I've already made and ftped data to most of the
directory.  And I'd rather not FTP 25 MB again over my puny 56.6 connection.
I've contacted tech support to see if they'll get my telnet access fixed.
