+ There are some other requirements for serving files obtained via FTP:

+ <LI>There are a few CGI scripts; make sure you have Options ExecCGI enabled.
+ We are very scrupulous about the CGI scripts distributed, and will ensure
+ there are no security holes in them.
+ <LI>Make sure /usr/local/bin/perl exists - it can be perl 4 or 5.
+ <LI>Make sure your mirror.pl script has "mode_copy=true" to ensure
+ permissions preservation.
+ <LI>Set the configuration <code>DocumentIndex index.html index.cgi</code>, or
+ <code>DocumentIndex index</code> if <code>Options MultiViews</code> is set.
+ </UL>
