I set the local folder "/home/john/download/" on linux to 777. The directories in the path leading up to the directory in which you wish to write/create file must have the executable bit set (this allows cd (change dir) into it). Thus /home and /home/john needs to have either g+x OR o+x (depending on the user running the script). -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.biz Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design & Hosting * Internet & Intranet Applications Development * ------------------------------------------ Search the list archives before you post http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general ------------------------------------------ /* Serenity through viciousness. */
