Just a little hint. I was once adwised to set the 'sticky bit', i.e. use 01777 as chmod-value. Do NOT do this if you don't have root privileges. When 'sticky bit' is set ONLY the fileuser can delete it afterwards, typically 'httpd' or something like that in case of an upload-script for example. I was unaware of this and actually had to make a script for deleting these files as I could not do this from ftp/ssh even though I did have read/write/execute access to both files and folders. Use simply '0777' or similiar. -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.chmod.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+30248 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+30248 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+30248
