I don't particularly need to *write* to the root directory. I do need to move the file to the root directory though as it's part of a CMS system. I can write the file to a directory which is adequately protected, but there has to be a way to move the file after it is written (to the root from said protected directory). The file is designed to be generated by another user. There are easier ways to design a CMS system I realise but this is my goal, to allow a user to simply generate a file which then is placed in the webroot after it has been written. I thought that this would be the easy part. Any more ideas? Thanks for your help Jason I appreciate it.
