Re: Uploading and directory permissions

The problem there is that PHP doesn't have enough permissions to make that change I basically tried to change a 0775 dir to 0777, upload and then put it back to 0775. The chmod doesn't even work on a file. When I upload a file I'm trying to put 0775 to a file but it only gives it a red and write for the owner (another problem there since I can't download (through FTP) the images I uploaded through PHP.
