I have a password protected directory which has a PHP page to upload files. When it is executed, I get a message saying "Permission denied" in the PHP page and that it was unable to move the temporary file to the actual file name. Do the permissions on the directory have to be set to 777? Is the password protection enough security?

I got it, I had to use that string, I suppose the Verizon connection masks my local IP address , It works now though, thanks for you attention!

Hi, Thanks for the replies, but I'm still unable to connect. I am using mySQL Administrator to connect, and I can ping my site IP address. I gave the database access through cPanel to my machine, and now I am getting an error that the connection is refused , and the user is my user name , in the correct format, but the user name is followed by '@pool-168-161-206-28.ny325.east.verizon.net' . I am using a DSL line through verizon, could this be the problem?

Good evening all, I'm trying to set up a remote connection to my domain's database but the connection just hangs. I have given the connection the IP address of my site and the port 3306, along with user id and password but I get no answer. Any suggestions or pointers to tutorials? I have enabled my computer in cPanel Tnx in advance bruce java script:emoticon('', 'smid_46')
