The file permission allow read and write to the owner. You do not need to modify them. If the user again uploads the files via HTTP, you do not have to worry about whether he has the permissions to overwrite the files. He *will* be able to overwrite the files. -- Raj Shekhar System Administrator, programmer and slacker home : http://rajshekhar.net blog : http://rajshekhar.net/blog/
