Re: Can't write to file via php, just via ftp...Can anyone help?

Hmm...I'm not a *nix guru, but I remember there is a command that allows you to change current user. so suppose it was called: changeuser, do this with PHP as web user: 1)execute changeuser [ftplogin] [ftppassword] normally the ftp user have the rights to change mode and write to files 2)execute chmod filename newmode (as ftp user) hope this gives a hint, //elias "Stephan HüBner" <SGHuebner@gmx.de> wrote in message news:B78B96B0.B2B6%SGHuebner@gmx.de... > Hello all, > > another newbie-question, probably... :-) > > And sorry for my (possibly) bad english, I'm from Germany. > > the problem I noticed is that I have to write to a file on the server.
