RE: Uploading a file

Sorry if this is obvious but . . . have you checked whether your server is running in "safe mode"? I had the same problem and finally realized that it would NEVER work cause the webserver was running in safe mode. (Disclaimer here -- I'm no sysadmin and don't know if Linux even has a safemode!) I'm not sure how to get around this. There are certain specific people I'd like to be able to upload PDFs to the webserver. But I don't want them to have full FTP privileges. I guess one solution would be to find/write an FTP program that you can use to give people limited upload privileges -- for example they can only upload into one specific directory and they can only upload pdfs. I haven't found any such program, so I guess I could write one -- if I knew how to write an ftp program :) PHP has an ftp module I believe, though I'm sure my ISP passed on installing that one. Any ideas, no matter how outlandish, are much appreciated. So many cool things to learn, so little time.

Is there something obviously wrong? I am using Apache on Linux (RH 7.2).
