$dateprogram - definition

Got a relatively simple question...

I am using an online forum and I got it working fine!
However, I have: $dateprogram within the cgi script and this is what the statement says in it's entirety:
$dateprogram = "/bin/date";

Can someone tell me where the "date program" is? Should I just set the path to the default where the site is located?

Any opinions would be appreciated
Thanks

"/bin/date" has to be changed to the actual path on your server.
telnet the server and type the command "which date", this will give you the full path to the date-program

Hey Pat...

I'm using WSFTP. Should the path include up and through the cgi bin? Where on WSFTP can I find the date program? Or can I ?

Thanks
