Re: file upload, again

The web server user needs to have access to that directory. On NT, there are 2 of these users. On *nix, there is one. Giving these users access to write to that directory is not a huge risk. koelwebdesign wrote:

hi there, I've searched the lists and forums for a couple of days now but nope... when I upload a file all is well, it get stored in the tmp directory, the filename and path get stored in the mysql database, however, it won't copy to the desired directory unless I give everyone write permissions to that directory. offcourse I don't like this. How do I tell php to use my username and password when copying the file from the tmp dir to the desired dir? Do I really have to make an ftp connection first? or is there a more simple way? How do you upload all those pictures to the webserver? thanks Leo Kuiper www.koelwebdesign.nl
