webserver write access
I noticed in the news tutorial that you mentioned about making sure that the webserver process has "write access to the directory you plan to store the file in" and this is a problem that has bugged me before. Can anyone tell me how on earth to do this? How to read and write a file using php code? I'm using Apache on SuSe 7.2, and PHP 4.0.8 if its of any help.
Thanks

RE: webserver write access
I do this through my FTP program, you just right clcik on the file and press set permissions and it has it all there. Dunno if you can do this with all FTP programs though...

Cool, i didn't see that 'set permissions' option there before.. That could be useful.. Know any way you can set a folders owner/group thru ftp?

RE: webserver write access
i've never seen a "set permissions" button.. on my FTP prog it's just called "chmod" then gives me 6 check boxes which i can use to set permissions for any file or folder (depending what i right clicked on).. ie> right click> chmod> check boxes> WEEE!

i just use the free version of WSFTP_LE :-/

I just use leechFTP. Free, quick, a little buggy, but it gets the job done without too many frills.

RE: webserver write access
You should REALLY see if your web host allows SSH. SSH is kind of like a secure FTP. All traffic in FTP, including your PASSWORD(!), is plain text transfer. If someone sniffs you - boom - there's your website on a platter.
Also, if you can, you might consider using the command line. If you use Linux or BSD, it's a little scary at first, but really, all an FTP program does is make a pretty GUI that sends the same get and put commands. scp is the "secure copy" utility.

GUI SSH programs are available for Windows, one is here: http://winscp.vse.cz/eng/ and another is the 6.5 version of WS_FTP: http://www.ipswitch.com/Products/WS_FTP/index.html

Definitely use SSH if you can!

Good luck,
