I'd like to make the documentation for xpressive available from the boost-sandbox project home page, like the FSM docs (http://boost-sandbox.sourceforge.net/libs/fsm/doc/index.html). According to the SourceForge docs, I should be able to copy my files there with scp like this:

scp index.html eric_niebler@shell.sourceforge.net:/home/groups/b/bo/boost-sandbox/ htdoc/libs/xpressive But when I tried that, I got "permission denied". Then I ssh'ed to shell.sourceforge.net and tried to mkdir /home/groups/b/bo/boost-sandbox/htdoc/libs/xpressive, but I got "permission denied" there, too. Do I need special permission to be able to do this? I already have CVS write access -- I guess that's not enough.

Any hints?

It looks like Andreas has forgotten to mark htdocs/libs with group-write permissions. Andreas, doing something like:

chmod -R g+w /home/groups/b/bo/boost-sandbox/htdocs/libs

Should fix the problem here.

And before you scp anything, you should do the same yourself: chmod a+r whatever chmod g+w whatever Or someone else will have the same problem :( -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
