Chmod Problem 1

[PhilipZ]

Hello,

I was working on a new script. First it mkdir as directory (chmod 777) and puts uploading files into that directory (also chmoded these files 777). The problem that I am getting is that after I ftp to that directory I can't delete the files which I uploaded for some reason [The server error says 533: Permission Denied]. The only way I was able to delete them is using unlink. Any help would be appreciated.

Philip,

What are the actual permissions of the directory you created? Mike

Email welcome if you're in a hurry or something -- but post in tek-tips as well please, and I will post my reply here as well.

As stated before the directory was given 0777 using mkdir.

On unix systems, the 'mkdir' function is effected by the current umask. The permissions you are asking for may not be the permissions you are getting do to the effect the umask has. There are several posts in this forum on that topic. Try doing a keyword search on 'umask'.
