You can ch(mod|own|grp) the files in the upload script, right after they are written to disk. chmod a+rwX is a good option if you are not overly concerned about the security of these files. Are you getting permission-denied errors when attempting to do this in your script, or afterwards, on the command-line? --------------------------------------------------------------------- michal migurski- contact info and pgp key: sf/ca http://mike.teczno.com/contact.html
