While the rest of the site seems to function normally, I get an error on attempts to access the control panel.

Did you copy all the files from the Binaries folder of the Upgrade ZIP file into the /bin/ directory of your website?

OK, I found the problem and the problem is user error with the FTP program. Once I put the updated files into the correct directories, works like a charm. Thanks for all the eyes.
First, thanks for the response.
I loaded (twice) the Binaries into the /bin of my website. There they overwrote several files and appeared to add a couple of new ones.
My /bin has the same parent as the rest of the files. Is there a reason why the /web files (which I put under the same parent without the /web) are in a different directory in the service patch than binary files? That is, why didn't the service patch come with /web/bin like it did with /web/ControlPanel? Is there a clue there?
Follow-up.
Actually, it turns out I can go to the control panel, just not through the front door. If I try the url
http://mysite/controlpanel/default.aspx I get the error. If I add something other than default.aspx (say fourms) to the end, it works fine.
