Hi Tim,Bill

Thanks for that.
That's exactly how I thought I had it, and how I have it configured now.
But it doesn't seem to work.
Also, on the files status page, I see the directory, but clicking on it, I get
nothing. Blank page.
In the client data page, it gives me 
ERROR: No such file or directory

The directory does exist. I would have the world breathing down my neck right
now if it didn't.
I have tried to ls the directory as Xymon to ensure I have read permissions in
the parent directory, and it works there.

But good to know I am on the right track. Something else must be wrong. I will
investigate further.
Hi Vernon

Before I sent my response, I actually did set up a full test of a dir as
described using version 4.3.12 client and 4.3.17 server and can verify that it
does work, so if it is not a Xymon version issue, it may just be a perms issue
on the remote host..

Obvious, I know, but check the paths all the way down to the directory. Make
sure that Xymon can get there. just a thought.
And yes, I am expecting this to end with a face-palm moment.
Most of the problems I face in IT get resolved that way. :-)
heh, right?   Good to hear I am not alone.
