Another point to be aware of is: FileMan will run as the web server! This can have some annoying consequences. For instance, all files created by FileMan will be owned by the web user (often a user called 'nobody') and you may not have permission to delete the file via FTP. FileMan works best when run under a program like CGIWrap that execute CGI scripts under your own userid. Ask your ISP if you have it installed!

I asked my host (tera-byte) and they said that they don't have CGIWrap installed. What can I do?

You have two options, run it as the 'nobody' user or find a new host that uses SuExec. I went and found a new host but I know that's not always a feasible option. I just find it very un-secure to not use SuExec or some other wrapper. I guess I am just paranoid :)
