Re: ftp in PHP4

Since my original post, the status has changed but let me recap... The file /home/windon/somefile did have permissions set to have anyone read it, but I never checked the permissions on the /home/windon directory. This has since been corrected. Next I was getting a permission denied error, which I found to be on the destination host. I had to give permissions of 777 to the destination directory for file transfer to happen. I find this as a security issue. Has anyone experienced this, or know of a work around?
