OT: HTML strangeness on FE pages

Hey all, this is a bit off topic but I thought I'd post here as
somebody may know what the problem is.

I've ported my web stuff to a new host and now the links to the matlab
code no longer work.   Specifically, if you go to the bottom of:

http://www.ericjacobsen.org/fe2/fe2.htm

and try to get any of the matlab source files it claims the page
doesn't exist (at least, that's what it does when I try it).   I've
double, triple, quadruple checked that the files are there, even
deleted and reloaded them once, but it can't find them.   The file
names match the hrefs in the fe2.htm source.

If you go to Peter K's site with the previous code on it at

http://home.comcast.net/~kootsoop/freqalgs.htm

he uses slightly different html code but the idea is the same, and it
works fine even on my browser.

This stuff used to work, it just seems that it's broken lately and I'm
pretty confused as to why.  Any help is appreciated.

Eric,

If you use something like Dreamweaver then the root reference may have been 
perturbed.  It's happened to me!  Now, that doesn't explain why the link 
appears to point to where you want it but I can't tell where you want it for 
sure!

I see:
www.ericjacobsen.org/fe2/inttst3.m   etc. so either the files are really 
there or not one would have to imagine.

What happens if you ftp to the site and look at the directory?  Oh, yeah, 
you already deleted and added them back.... hmmmmm..  Not much help here I 
guess.

Maybe these files aren't marked for reading..... now *that* would cause this 
to happen.

The links seem broken, but I suspect it's a file permission issue.

If I try:

http://www.ericjacobsen.org/fe2/inttst3.m

I get the standard 404 error from Microsoft.  If I try something random:

http://www.ericjacobsen.org/fe2/sdfds

then I get an error generated by your ISP.

So I suspect that the files are there, they've just not got the right
permissions.

See if the files (or the fe2 directory) has given read permissions to
the appropriate process / user.

HTH,

Peter K.

You may be right, and I'm not certain how to change it.   I copied the
.m files with the same utility (ws_ftp) that I used to copy the
graphics and .htm files, and at the same time, so I don't know why it
would treat them differently.   Perhaps the hosting company reserves
the .m file extension for something else and it does have different
permissions.

Ah, well, I'll have to see how good their support staff is, I suppose.

That's a thought: try changing the extension to ".txt" and see what happens.

You could also embed the files into HTML.  IIRC the keyword is <CODE> 
and it just prints anything inside verbatim and in a fixed-width font. 
I cannot remember the details, but I know it's there.

Permissions maybe.

I think you're talking about the <pre> tag (IIRC, that stands for 
pre-formatted).

Yup, that's what I use on my .m files:

% <PRE>
function omegahat = discperiod(signal)

%DISCPERIOD Find the discrete-frequency periodogram maximizer

%</PRE>

Also, on your other FE page,
http://www.ericjacobsen.org/intpfigs.mcd
is not there.

Perhaps the server is configured only to deliver file types
it knows about?
