When the output of the script is send to the client, the files is already chmod'ed to 600 again. This is because the script is ofcourse sequential parsed. So before the client gets a change to fetch the test.jpg it is already changed back to 600. Maybe there is another way, but this is just an explanation why your script doesn't work. Jeroen
