Ftp5.cgi doesn't initialize to install cart

Post Ftp5.cgi doesn't initialize to install cart 
I have been trying for three days to get this file (ftp5.cgi) to initialize using my browser which is Netscape Navigator 9 and all I get is "Page Not Found". I downloaded agoracart V5.2 and closely followed all instructions. Deleted all the files and repeated the process several more times and nothing changed. My server is dot5hosting and says cgi files are acceptable and executable. I have converted this file at least a zillion times, checked to make sure it is an ascii file set at 755 and yata, yata, yata, but it never executes when I load the path to the file in the browser. What is wrong or what am I doing wrong? I'm at my wits end... I practically read all of the forum on this subject and I seem to be the only one with this type of problem. I've tried saving the file in the cgi-bin folder and get the same results. I can't even get to the fork in the road to know which way to go or what to do next. A cry for help can be my only salvation, so Help!!! Please!

Time to talk to the web host or to switch to a better host...
It is not a problem with Agora's installer file... I've used it lots of times....
So, talk to your web host...

wow, three days? don't wait that long to ask for help.
could be your server doesn't allow server to server stuff.
you can also try moving the file to the cgi-bin.
ftp the file in ascii. force ascii. do not use filemanager cpanel, dreamweaver or frontpage or any other transfer solution you do not have complete control over.

if you consistantly get file not found then that's another problem. it doesn't matter which browser you use as all browsers will handle the url the same. file not found could be permissions, it could also be the path and/or the file name or extension is wrong. file not found means just that... the server can't locate the file you're looking for. make sure your file on the server is named ftp5.cgi and not ftp5.txt for example. you could even rename the file to agorainstall.cgi if you want.
you can also try a manual install but recheck everything for the web install and try again.
