Re: mkdir security concern

So your suggestion is that I should create an ftp account and use this account to create folder structure for user right? I still not sure about the permission to set. If I set 0755 how do OS know who is the owner? May be I think too much. But let say I use ftp account: ftp1 to create folder structure That mean owner is ftp1 user right? And then later I use PHP file upload script to upload image to user folders what will happen?
