Just make sure the permissions are properly set (i.e., not group- or
world-writeable). My pages with server-side includes are chmod 755, which
means owner can read/write/execute and others can read/execute but not
write. Your ISP should be able to tell you what is appropriate for their
web server.

Some examples:

  owner  group  world
  -----  -----  -----
  7/rwx  5/r-x  5/r-x (pages with SSI's)
  6/rw-  4/r--  4/r-- (regular pages, images)
  6/rw-  6/rw-  0/--- (access counter files -- my server, anyway)

chmod 644 *.html
