DannyTip Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Im using php to create a directory on the server when a user on my script is added. Using the following..[code]mkdir("../client/images/".$imgdir."/", 0755);mkdir("../client/images/thumbnails/".$imgdir."/", 0755);[/code]All this works prefectly fine. The problem comes when the user then tries to log in via ftp and upload files into this directory to which permission denied errors are returned. Its possible for the user to delete the directory fine but they are not allowed to upload files into it. Is there anyway arround this?Im guessing its a problem todo with users where 'apache' owns the directory. but surely the permission 755 allows any user to read/write ?

rab Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Try 766, that gives the owner of it rwx, groups rw- and others rw-. 755 is r-x, which is read and execute not write Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyTip Posted October 17, 2006 Author Share Posted October 17, 2006 I tried 0766 and 0777 but the directory created still seams to be 755 according to my ftp client. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyTip Posted October 17, 2006 Author Share Posted October 17, 2006 After some playing around and realising i was uploading the wrong file :'(766 is producing a chmod of 744777 is producing a chmod of 755666 is producing a chmod of 644 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
