Thanks Dan! That was very quick!
I've implemented and changed approriate settings (fixed type-o as well)
THe script does something--it runs and will redirect the user to the appropriate
page, but it does not copy the file to the specified directory. I've tried
absolute paths in the configuration, as well as './' and '../' None seem to get
the file copied over.
I do appreciate your help and I'll try again later, but right now I have to go
pick up a very attractive woman and go on vacation.
So play around iwththe 'bot and let me know what else I could do to make the
experience a better one.
