Jonathan, maybe this will explain it better. I posted this on another forum.
Thanks.

This works perfectly on my Red Hat Linux server. I'm using the 'xbithack' in
my .htaccess file.

<!--#include file="thefile.txt" --> -- the SSI

Here's my location according to ws_ftp

public_html/folder1/folder2/my_htm_file.htm (this contains the SSI above)

I have a folder containing all my text files and it's located at--

public_html/text_files_folder

From within the htm file and the location above -
public_html/folder1/folder2/my_htm_file.htm - I want to include an SSI that
gets the file from - public_html/text_files_folder

I've tried these combinations (see below) and lots of others but nothing
will get the file. I keep getting an "[an error occurred while processing
this directive]" error.

<!--#include file="/public_html/text_files_folder/show_this_file.txt" -->

<!--#include file="/text_files_folder/show_this_file.txt" -->

<!--#include file="../text_files_folder/show_this_file.txt" -->

<!--#include
file="../../public_html/text_files_folder/show_this_file.txt" -->

<!--#include file="../../../text_files_folder/show_this_file.txt" -->

<!--#include
file="http://www.mywebsite/text_files_folder/show_this_file.txt" -->

Nothing works. Does anyone know how to do this? It seems to be a problem
with others as well. I've done a search on the Internet and have seen no
definitive answer. Does anyone know the correct syntax? Thanks.

As mentioned earlier, if I include the "show_this_file.txt" in the same
folder as"my_htm_file.htm" this code works perfectly.

<!--#include file="thefile.txt" -->

Anyone?????
