CGI scripts allow the communication to be done between the client and the server side and it acts as a gateway between them.
- CGI scripts don’t work due to uploading of it in a BINARY mode as this is not the format in which the scripts are uploaded.
- ASCII mode is used to upload the CGI scripts rather than BINARY mode as this is the default format that is being used for this purpose only.
- The file should have the permission on the scripts that hasn’t been set and the permissions should be changed to make the CGI programs readable on the server and client.
- FTP also should have the proper permissions by using the CHMOD that allows the file to be uploaded on the server.
