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.
