Yes, and set the permissions when you upload it.

You probably can't.

You haven't said what the problem is, not what the content of the most
important aspect of the guestbook code is: guestbook.cgi.

Why not just go to http://cgi.resourceindex.com/ and download one. If
you're doing this to learn to develop CGI applications, you may be
starting off with a project that's a bit too hard - at the moment.

Have a look at http://www.php.net/. Many people find PHP easier to pick
up that other CGI languages such as PERL.

If you're not good at using a CGI Script... which can be quite
intimidating for some, you can build a Guestbook using HTML Forms, and
simply use a Remotely Hosted Server to Process the input data, and send
it to your email, from which you can "manually" add it to your Guestbook
page source!

For more... See Forms on the Menu on this page:
