in the root of your local site create a new folder called..
cgi-bin
connect to the server..select the cgi folder and send  (put) it to the server.
that will create a new folder called cgi-bin on the server
into which you can upload your scripts.

I would like to add that I need help with creating a .cgi file. I have designed a form, and need a way to transfer it, but I don't know how. So far I created a ColdFusion component, but don't know how to edit the code. Right now it is:

<cfcomponent>
     <cffunction name="REQUEST_METHOD" access="public" returntype="string">
          <cfargument name="myArgument" type="string" required="true">
          <cfset myResult="foo">
          <cfreturn myResult>
     </cffunction>
</cfcomponent>
