</span>Hi Vernon<br>
<br>
Before I sent my response, I actually did set up a full test of a dir as<br>
described using version 4.3.12 client and 4.3.17 server and can verify that it<br>
does work, so if it is not a Xymon version issue, it may just be a perms issue<br>
on the remote host..<br>
<br>
Obvious, I know, but check the paths all the way down to the directory. Make<br>
sure that Xymon can get there. just a thought.<br>
