Re: Please assist - been on this for hours - Permissions onserver

You are not that far away. It seems to me you have allow_url_fopen off. Then you need to store your file in a temporary location, use ftp functions to upload it (the example in the manual is all you need), and then remove the temporary file. But this again needs the ftp extenssion enabled. Steve Jackson wrote:

Same error.

I think I'll just try uploading a template file with it's unique ID rather than writing one directly to the server. I don't want to have to have users put their ftp username and password into the CMS for it to work. Unless you think I am not far from success with this method? All I wanted was for a file to be written into a safe directory and then moved automatically to the webroot.
