I need to set a p3p privacy policy on one of my web sites.
I have been able to create the correct files that are needed.
The site is hosted on an ISP provided server, with no access to the
root. The setup is home.pacbell.net/mysitename/.
Since I don't have root access, I can't place the p3p.xml file in the
usual location. Hence I must add a link in the headers of each page
pointing to the p3p.xml file. I have done this without problem.
The next file required is #policy1.p3p . This is what has given me
fits today. I have created the proper file and saved it as named.
Using the web based web access, the file is uploaded fine. The
uploaded file name is shown as #policy1.p3p. Once I click 'OK' the
file is shown to have changed names to _policy1.p3p.
Trying to change the file name back to a leading # shows it as OK but
the result is that the file remains with a leading _ instead of the
required #.
Sooo, I used FTP and tried to add the file. The result was:
Response: 257 "/public_html/privacy" is current directory.
Command: TYPE I
Response: 200 Type set to I
Command: PASV
Response: 227 Entering Passive Mode (207,115,17,228,248,193).
Command: STOR #policy1.p3p
Response: 500 'STOR #policy1.p3p' not understood
Error: Critical error
If I upload the file without the leading # and try changing the name
in FTP I get this result:
Status: Renaming '/public_html/privacy/policy1.p3p' to
'/public_html/privacy/#policy1.p3p'
Command: RNFR policy1.p3p
Response: 350 File or directory exists, ready for destination
name.
Command: RNTO #policy1.p3p
Response: 501 Invalid number of arguments.
I know this is a long shot anyone here can help,
But this is very important to me as a loss of income may be involved.
Thanks in advance,
D

Why don't you multipost exactly the same question to every newsgroup you can
find. That way you will ensure that you have a dozen totally disparate
threads running, probably with different people all spending their time
providing identical answers, not knowing that eleven other people already
have provided said answer in a different group.
Read up on cross posting, but only if you must.

Hi,
Sorry to step on your toes, so to speak.
But, I don't think I cross posted. I 'posted' this message in five
html groups one at a time. I don't know who reads what group, or who
reads them all.
Again, sorry to upset you.

BTW,
Do you have any ideas about this topic?

Hi again,
Yes, multi posted not cross posted as you stated before.
<read before you answer> Ah, I see. You don't.
I do hope my quest for information bears fruit here, even if I multi
posted to 4 groups.
But as for you, little newsgroup cop ... Be gone.

Multi-posting is bad; cross-posting is ok when necessary. If you are
found to be a chronic multi-poster, you will soon end up in everyone's
kill files.
