Hi Everyone, I am creating a file in PHP script which takes a value from a form and writes it to a file. However, i don't have the mode permission for the file instead it is owned by www-data.What can i do to ensure that the file is owned by me. drwxr-xr-x 2 www-data www-data 4096 2011-01-17 22:01 18757170111.0 -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 40 2011-01-17 23:39 32238.hydro Thanks.

Either have a PHP script create the directory, OR Using FTP access, set the dir perms to 757, or 777. The xx7 makes the dir world writable. For protection, put a .htaccess file in the dir like: # Prevent Direct Access to Files from outside world <Files *> Order Deny,Allow Deny from all </Files> Or put your dir above the webspace, [DOCUMENT_ROOT}
