Upload file to server as '[username]' as opposed to 'www-data'

[tbare]

Hello again.

 

I have an upload script that works great... except that it's on a linux server, and the owner of the uploaded file is not me, but rather "www-data"

 

This isn't a major problem (that i see), but it may be, and it also keeps me from having full control over said file.

 

Is there a way to get an upload script to specify a user as the owner?

 

any help would be greatly appreciated!
