I get the same 'does not exist' message when I try to access 'homes'. I do have a public directory underneath my /home on the server, and I can access that, then go up a level to the /home/anne that should have been available as 'homes'. I have come to the conclusion that there is something odd about passing the password. When I request Anne-Public I am asked for the password, after which I can move around easily. When I request 'homes' I am not asked for the password. I know this is no solution for you, but I'm hoping that my £0.02 will trigger some useful ideas from someone else ;-) Anne
