I created a public_html directory and uploaded some 9.1 RPM's I built. However, any attempt to acces the directory gives a "403 Forbidden"

If you've got webspace with an ISP, you usually don't need to put the files into a public_html directory - all that is taken care of for you. What you *will* need is a file called index.htm or index.html (it varies with the webspace provider), which will be served automatically when someone requests your webspace. Simply put links to your RPM files in there, and upload the RPMs to the same (root) directory of your webspace and it should work.

If something else is happening, please tell us exactly where you're putting the files (omitting security details, of course) and what address you're trying to connect with.

Thanks to all. I had uploaded the file, but there wasn't a link in index.html. Still a novice at this sort of thing. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce .... Hamradio G3VBV and keen Flyer =====LINUX ONLY USED HERE=====
