Note Submitter: Kev P ---- The following code takes a posted file from a html page and saves it to a folder on a server called upload <? if(!empty($HTTP_POST_FILES["userfile"])) { $uploaddir = "/upload/"; // set this to wherever $uploadfrom = $HTTP_POST_FILES["userfile"]["tmp_name"]; $uploaddir += $HTTP_POST_FILES["userfile"]["name"]; //copy the file to some permanent location if(move_uploaded_file($uploadfrom, $uploaddir)) { echo("file uploaded"); } else { echo ("error!"); } } ?> The problem is that the server is very secure and this method is disabled. Is there a way of passing my username and password details for the server in the move_uploaded_file method. For example when i use an FTP package i have write access to the server. Is this the same when running a script or is it possible to give myself write access to the upload directory from a php script
